As we continue to monitor the global COVID-19 public health emergency, our thoughts are with our Members and those impacted. We recognize that the ever-changing nature of this novel virus is concerning and is requiring many of us to adjust our standard practices. Still, we want to assure you that ISPE is here to support your knowledge and connectivity needs.
