WIB-Seattle Steering Committee Announcement, July 9, 2025

We are pleased to share that the Chapter Vice Chair Selection Committee has selected Sadie Josephs as our new Chapter Vice Chair!

Sadie Josephs, Chapter Vice Chair

Sadie has already made a strong impact as our Chapter Treasurer, bringing passion, dedication, and a strategic mindset to everything she does. She is a clinical affairs and program management professional with over 13 years of experience in regulated medical device development and commercialization, particularly in class II/III devices and molecular in vitro diagnostics. Sadie is deeply committed to translating innovative science and technology into real-world solutions. Her recent MBA experience deepened her understanding of the connection between technology development, finance, and operations, an interest that grew from her own operational background. Notably, she also served as board chair for her sorority’s local chapter at the University of Washington, overseeing a $1M+ operating budget, and currently serves on the board for a local music education non-profit organization. Sadie’s enthusiasm for the Vice Chair role comes from her desire to continue contributing to Women In Bio’s mission while building on her leadership experience to support our chapter and the broader Seattle life science community. Welcome Sadie!
