From the archives – wow how could it be 5 years ago already. Yes I’m that far behind in posting. Starting Global Life Sciences Alliance https://globallifesciencesalliance.com/ in 2020 has kept me very busy. However, one credo* that FOCM lives by is there is no time limit to posting membership ceremonies and we refuse to not share these fine individuals caught in one of the happiest moments of their lives. This is evidenced by my most recent post from 2018 – https://focmnetworking.com/networking/focm-events-happen-spontaneously/

The subject of today’s post is from a FOCM networking event in Houston, TX in September 2019. The event took place on September 10, the night before the Outsourcing for Clinical Trials Texas conference. It was held at Goode Company Armadillo Palace; 5015 Kirby Dr, Houston.

I know a lot of people in the Houston metro area from having worked for ICON Clinical Research’s Interactive Technology Group with its headquarters in Sugarland, TX. So I was happy to be attending an event in Houston – giving me a reason to have a networking event and reconnect former co-workers and friends.

Receiving their membership cards in the traditionally somber ceremony, Trish Jacquet, now with Medidata Solutions and Matt Foster, now with Veeva Systems could not contain their excitement.
