The PDA Metro Chapter serves the New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania Tri-State area as an extension of PDA International. The local chapter focuses its efforts towards organizing and providing local events targeted at scientists involved in the development, manufacture, quality control and regulatory affairs for pharmaceuticals and related products.

The PDA Metro Chapter is comprised of PDA members from the NJ and metropolitan NY area and is managed by the operating team comprised of volunteers.

The PDA Metro Chapter organizes dinner meetings throughout the year. The focus of the meetings is to provide industry professionals involved in the development, manufacture, quality control and regulation of pharmaceuticals/ biopharmaceuticals and related products the ability to converse in an educational environment while enjoying presentations from the top industry professionals.

It offers an opportunity to network within the industry in an enjoyable and informative setting. The dinner meetings are usually held at various hotels in NJ and include a networking hour, dinner and a featured presentation from a time period between 5:00 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. The PDA Metro Chapter aspires to be an integral link in education and is always looking for new volunteers whom may assist us in our efforts. Your support, comments and suggestions are the mechanism to our improved success.
