We invite all Biocom California member organizations to join us and become signatories to our DE&I Member Pledge. Signatories commit to driving real, lasting change in advancing diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace and creating pathways that provide opportunities for BIPOC and other underrepresented populations within the life science industry today.
