SPEAKER: Maryland Comptroller, Peter Franchot

TOPIC: Status of the State's Budget. How are we doing given the health emergency and the economic crisis we are facing? 

This is a great opportunity to talk with Comptroller Franchhot who has always been a great friend of the business community.  

In these unprecedented times, the biohealth industry is coming together to achieve one shared goal: to beat COVID-19. And it is happening in our back yard.

As Maryland & Montgomery County gradually lift the confinement measures, it is clear that vaccine represents our best hope of moving out from under the shadow of the coronavirus epidemic.

The Gaithersburg-Germantown, Clarksburg, & Poolesville Chambers of Commerce will host representatives from AstraZeneca to discuss how the pharmaceutical industry is working around the clock, at extraordinary speed to develop a safe and effective vaccine against COVID-19. Doug Ryder, president, Holy Cross Germantown Hospital will moderate the discussion.

During the presentation, panelists from AstraZeneca will provide an overview of:

• What is a vaccine & how does it work?
• Status of a COVID-19 vaccine
• How would the vaccine be distributed?
• What is the current timeline for development, testing, and distribution?

Join us for this relevant & timely topic.

Join the young professional group over lunch for casual conversation and good times.
