Executive Women In Bio (EWIB) is the life science community’s pre-eminent resource for executive women. This initiative champions greater diversity in the industry and is committed to empowering women leaders at the highest levels by hosting robust professional development programs, creating targeted networking events, and fostering exclusive communities that amplify and support each other.
Executives in WIB have three specialty programs, including Boardroom Ready, ad hoc programming led by EWIB chairs, and eMAPS cohort programs, which offer professional development cohorts for rising Directors, VPs, and C-level executives.
EWIB-Southern California offers an Emerging Executives Cohort and two Executive Round Tables – one in San Diego and one in Los Angeles.
Contact SouthernCaliforniaEWIB@womeninbio.org to get more information.
If you’re a local Executive, you are invited to join a cohort and/or networking event or learn more about the National Boardroom Ready program.
Note: 2022-2023 registrations are closed. Applications for Southern California Executive programs are taken between cohorts as an interested party list and you'll be contacted when a new cohort opens for registration so make sure to express interest or apply through the link here.
EWIB Co-Chairs : Ellen Lubman (Los Angeles) and Padma Kodukula (San Diego).
