We invite you to peruse the full Survey Executive Summary. The...

Hi! As we’re in the home stretch preparing for our big forum on Thursday, I’m reminded once again how important community is in our profession. And speaking of community… it’s that time again! We’re looking for experienced biopharma communicators to volunteer as Cohort Leads for our next cycle of T2B's Peer-Learning Practicum (PLP). The PLP has become one of my favorite T2B programs because over the last few sessions, I’ve seen it create connections that last long after the program itself....

Hi! Knowing when to push back on a CEO. Building trust with stakeholders over years. Translating complexity in ways that require human context. This is a mere sampling of elements of our role as corporate affairs practitioners that AI can't do (at least, not yet).
