At WIB, we focus our activities on education, mentoring and networking, and on creating opportunities for leadership that can help you advance your career.
VOLUNTEERING: We have 14 chapters, located in key biotech hubs in North America, where volunteers come together to meet new people and help drive the events and mentoring programs of WIB.
EVENTS: Chapters hold events that fall broadly into two categories; professional development or educational events, and social or purely networking events. [All events have time dedicated to meeting new people and networking].
SPECIAL EVENTS: In addition, WIB holds a number of special events, headlined by our signature Annual Celebration featuring a leading industry executive as our keynote speaker. In 2013, WIB began holding the Annual Celebration at the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) conference, allowing people from all chapters and many other cities to come together to meet in person, swap stories and exchange ideas.
MENTORING: Mentoring and giving back is a core tenet at WIB. Our Mentorshio, Advisors, Peers, and Sponsorship (MAPS) program provides a forum for groups of up to ten women with common interests to gather and exchange advice and views. Our Young Women In Bio (YWIB) program aims to encourage middle- and high-school girls to enter STEM by creating fun, hands-on laboratory events that are partnered with local biotech companies.
