Renee Buthe

From the beginning of my career, I have read technical reports and articles from the PDA to help interpret and understand the application of regulations. The organization has been a great resource for information and explanation. Now, I still feel all of the same reasons apply. The PDA will deliver accurate information without having bias to certain products or procedures. It is an honor to partner with PDA to teach and educate colleagues within the industry. It has taught me so much more about the industry and allows for great conversations and problem-solving for current issues and pain points that companies are facing.
