Women to Women Up Close and Personal
Easily the most memorable event is the "Women to Women: Up Close and Personal” workshop where women from the executive ranks mentor up-and-coming women in candid discussions on topics that are only discussed in a hush around the water cooler. This workshop has changed the way many women view their role in the workplace and has helped many to create a healthy balance between work and their personal lives.

The American Society for Cell Biology

The Minorities Affairs Committee (MAC), one of the standing committees of the American Society for Cell Biology, has as its goal to significantly increase the involvement of underrepresented minority scientists in all aspects of the Society. To achieve this goal it recognizes the need to promote the professional development of and to recruit minority scientists. The relatively small size of the pool of scientists with an interest in cell biology requires that we also develop programs for undergraduate and predoctoral students to assist them in achieving careers in biomedical research.
