Advisory Board Dinner
Join us for an evening of conversation with some of the most well-known and experienced health policy professionals in D.C. Given the small group nature of these dinners, you will have the opportunity to get to know our Advisory Board members, ask all of your health policy questions, and get personalized professional development advice. One Advisory Board Member hosts a dinner each month throughout the year.
Tim Dube, Vice President of Regulatory Affairs at Pharmaceutical Care Management Association (PCMA), will host November’s Advisory Board Dinner. Tim has a deep history of experience in pharmaceutical and biotechnology policy issues and represents PCMA before federal regulators in HHS and other Departments.
