Paula Newton, President of NH Biotechnology Council, introduces Catherine Blake

(from The Catalyst, the New Hampshire Biotechnology Council's newsletter) 

Greetings!
 
I would like to introduce Catherine Blake. Catherine is working with the board to chart a new course for the council starting in 2008 and beyond. In my previous letter I invited everyone to ask us questions and give us your comments. I urge you to do this as we will also pass them along to Catherine for her input.

We hope you will welcome her call to speak to you or visit your facility. This marks a great opportunity for us to continue to grow to meet your needs as well as those of the life science industry.

So without further ado, Ladies and Gentleman, Catherine Blake.

Best Regards,
Paula Newton, President
New Hampshire Biotechnology Council
