June 2024 Winners

Karen Underwood
WIB-Capital Region | Programs Vice Chair

Outstanding Long Term Impact Volunteer
"Karen has been part of Women in Bio for many years and has had an enormous contribution towards the growth of the Capital Region Chapter. She was one of the first people representing WIB in the Baltimore area and have been running programs and impactful events for couple of years. For the last two years, Karen has been part of the chapter's programing committee at large and has put together some well attended and engaging events and thus supported and engaged our members. We would like to thank Karen for her contribution."

Yadira Salamander
WIB-RTP | WIB-National Speakers Bureau Chair & WIB-RTP Programs Chair

Outstanding Leadership Award
"Yadi has been a devoted leader in the RTP chapter for several years. Her work has temporarily taken her from the RTP area, so she immediately reached out to National to find out how she could help us move the mission forward. Since that time she has been managing our national speakers and helping with all things webinar! Her help is instrumental in creating empowering programs for our members."

Mie Field
WIB-Seattle | Sponsorship Chair

Outstanding Chapter Volunteer
"Mie Field is an example of someone who truly embodies the values of Women In Bio and we are thankful to have her lead the Sponsorship Committee and act as a liaison between the chapter and our community partners. Women In Bio is only able to deliver its programming thanks to this support, but Mie is part of the team behind the scenes that helps make it happen by managing these relationships."

Alex Sesi
WIB-Los Angeles | Sponsorship Co-Chair

Emerging Volunteer of Excellence
"Alex is both a newcomer at WIB and a new volunteer, yet she has jumped right in like a seasoned pro! She has been invaluable in making key industry connections and is proactive and professional in her follow-through. The WIB-Los Angeles chapter wouldn't be as successful without Alex on our team!"
