“Every day, our Corporate Relations team has the privilege to collaborate with some of pharma and life sciences’ brightest minds and talent. These are our Key Liaisons. We cadence with you monthly. You share your ideas and discuss the impact you desire to make for your organization. We support you in advancing women in healthcare, and this is not something our team takes lightly. We learn and grow from each of you. When you tell us you have advanced in your career or you hit significant milestones we celebrate with you, and it is our extreme honor to award you with our inaugural Key Liaison Award. Thank you to Yeshna (IQVIA), Cali (Calcium), Maddie (CSL), and Chandi (Atara) for your dedication to your respective companies and continued commitment to the HBA and advancing women in healthcare. ,”  – Serene Bridgett Hollingsworth, Director, Corporate Accounts, HBA
