The Pacific Northwest Chapter of the PDA serves Washington, Oregon, Idaho, British Columbia, and Alaska as an extension of the international organization The Parenteral Drug Association (PDA). The local chapter focuses its efforts towards organizing and providing local events targeted at pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industry members, especially those involved in the development, manufacturing, quality control, quality assurance, and regulatory affairs.

The PNW Chapter of the PDA aspires to be an integral link in education and is always looking for new volunteers who may assist us in our efforts. Your support, comments, and suggestions are the mechanisms to our improved success. For inquiries, please check out our "Get Involved" section or contact us.
