An Evening with Thought Leaders & Holiday Networking Reception

Join Georgia Life Sciences on December 9 at Mercer University for our annual Evening with Thought Leaders & Holiday Networking Reception, presented by PhRMA. This year’s program features a timely policy conversation titled:

Federal Insight, State Action: Policy in Georgia’s Life Sciences 

We are pleased to welcome:

• Anna K. Abram, Partner at Akin Gump and former FDA Deputy Commissioner
• Senator Chuck Hufstetler, District 52 and Georgia Life Sciences’ 2025 Legislator of the Year
• Bethany Sherrer, Georgia-based Government Affairs Leader

Speakers will offer an integrated perspective on how federal developments and state policy priorities are shaping the future of Georgia’s life sciences sector — and offer a preview of what’s ahead in 2026.. 

Following the discussion, we will honor Senator Hufstetler with the 2025 Legislator of the Year Award, then close the evening with a festive holiday networking reception.

Join us as we bring together leaders from across Georgia’s life sciences community to reflect, connect, and look ahead to 2026.
