The British Generic Manufacturers Association (BGMA), the representative trade association for off-patent medicines, has established a new Women’s
Networking Group aimed at fostering learning, networking, and career development opportunities for women in the generic and biosimilar medicines industry.

Clara Carter, UK country manager of generics at Accord Healthcare, has been elected as the first chair of the group, and Elaine Holisz, strategic engagement
director at Advanz, as its vice chair.

Clara expressed her enthusiasm for the initiative, saying, “This is a really important association initiative which will cover a wide range of topics and issues.”

“At its heart, I want it to be about identifying and nurturing talent and breeding confidence in future industry leaders. We will offer mentoring and speaker
opportunities among a wide range of potential activities.”

With over two decades of experience in the off-patent medicines industry, Clara is committed to providing participants with practical insights and guidance.

Diane DiGangi Trench, Country Head UK & Ireland for Sandoz and current chair of the BGMA, highlighted the importance of the initiative, “The Women’s Networking
Group will be a brilliant platform to encourage new voices in our industry and I am really looking forward to participating in the planned programme.”
