2010 BIO Fly-In - Washington D.C.
The Biotechnology International Organization (BIO) will be hosting its 2010 legislative fly-in to Washington, D.C., April 13 and 14. THBI is again participating in the Fly-in and invites all THBI members to accompany THBI to Washington. With Health Care Reform in the spotlight, and a number of other issues such as patent reform, follow-on biologics, NIH funding, and bio-ag interest soon to follow, the BIO Fly-In is a great opportunity to connect with the Texas Congressional Delegation and voice your opinions and concerns over issues of importance to the life science industry. BIO will take care of scheduling appointments with Texas Congressional members, however, lodging and travel is the responsibility of participants.
