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.
