HAPPY 25TH ANNIVERSARY!
As ISPE's general membership grew in the mid 1980s, ISPE International’s leadership recognized the need to
develop chapters that would provider networking, education, and the exchange of industry information at the
local level. The large concentration of membership population and the pharmaceutical industry based in
northern New Jersey were the prime factors for focusing on this area.
At the ISPE Annual Meeting in November 1985 a steering committee was formed to determine the interest and
feasibility of creating a local chapter in New Jersey. The effort ended successfully and ISPE’s first
chapter was chartered in New Jersey in late 1986.
The “North Jersey” Chapter, as it was then known, pioneered many effective programs. With no precedent as
guide, the Chapter was able to explore and innovate new ways to locally enhance ISPE membership. Now
celebrating its 25th Anniversary, the New Jersey Chapter can be proud of a long list of
accomplishments.
Join us at our Gala 25th Anniversary Celebration on January 14, 2012 to celebrate and learn
more about how ISPE New Jersey can make a difference for you!

The ISPE New Jersey Chapter has grown into a highly visible presence

area. Shown here, 2010 Chapter President Dragutin Stoicovici spreads
