What an example to follow! Our past and current NIH Chapter Presidents maintain mentoring relationships with each other! In doing so, they seek to promote higher education in STEM, find strategies to disseminate relevant information in the DMV, and promote career development in the NIH community.

All of them will be attending Sacnas 2016 National Conference! If you see them at the conference, please get a hold of them and tell them a little bit about yourself. They will be happy to celebrate your accomplishments with you!

The Chapter looks forward to continuing to make a difference, and count on your support to achieve our goal.
