Principal Consultant Integrated Project Management Company, Inc.
Description: Are you a member of a local/regional RAPS chapter or networking group? If not, learn in this session what you might be missing out on. Have you considered joining a RAPS chapter in another region of the world? Learn how to connect globally and locally with other RAPS members. Each chapter has its own unique needs and personality and focuses on different aspects of the Regulatory and Quality profession. What makes your chapter different? We will identify how we complement each other and how we might come up with new ideas and ways of working together. Come find out the opportunities for volunteering with RAPS on a local, national, and global level. Global interactions with regulatory peers have become the norm and RAPS can open doors to networking you’re not able to find elsewhere and provide greater visibility among others at all levels in the Regulatory profession.
In this campfire session, we will share how our respective RAPS chapters have been surviving while meeting virtually during the pandemic. In some cases, we’re now thriving as a result of being able to be more inclusive of RAPS members who are not bound by a specific geographic area. What’s that spark that kept your chapter going throughout the pandemic? What new ideas and ways of collaborating have been successful for you and your Chapter? Come prepared to share your knowledge to help advance the Regulatory community.
Benefits to be gained by attending this session include obtaining and sharing advice and insights and hearing from your peers about their real-life experiences. Maybe you will be inspired to explore other career options or other geographies.
Volunteering for RAPS helps you strengthen your leadership and speaking skills and increases your likelihood of interacting directly with Health Authorities through Chapter meetings and presenting at Convergence.
