*The MA Chapter of AWIS has been recognized for the AWIS Star Award in
2013 and 2014.*
This prestigious award honors chapters that have achieved a number of
goals in AWIS’s Strategic Plan. These goals include advocating for a
positive system transformation, helping all women in STEM achieve
success, and maximizing our impact by optimizing organization
capacity. Our board members, volunteers and members helped

*MALSI Day 2015*
*The 8th Massachusetts Life Sciences Innovation (MALSI) Day* is the
biggest day for life sciences startups and innovation in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This is a high-energy, hands-on event
which brings together scientific leaders and business experts to mingle
with scientists, post-docs, professors, entrepreneurs, innovators, and
venture capitalists.
*The theme this year is *“*Weathering Healthcare Climate Change*” – the
environment in which new inventions are commercialized and start-ups are
created is constantly and radically changing so how do you make sure
that your commercialization plan is robust enough to weather all of the
changes that may impact your plan. Changes in healthcare policy, the
economy, available financing, regulatory approvals, and reimbursement
all impact a business as it grows. With so many unknowns, how does the
entrepreneur take a best guess at the environment they will be operating
in when their new product is ready for market in five, ten or fifteen
years. During 2015’s Mass Life Sciences Innovation Day, our keynotes and
panels we will explore the Healthcare Climate Changes that are likely to
impact technology development and commercialization and how you can
respond. /Event Flyer
