Happy New Year!
President's Message
By Tom Golden, Unbound Consulting

Happy New Year! Hello, I'm Tom Golden, your ISPE LA Chapter President from
September 2014 until August 2015.
I am looking forward to our Chapter events and serving the Chapter with the
goals of increasing our membership's Life Sciences knowledge as well as
increasing our overall membership.
Here's a quick biography. I grew up in Wilmington, DE, the son of a steam fitter. I have a Bachelor of
Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) from the University of Delaware, an MBA in International
Business from St Joseph's University, an Executive MBA. I also have a post graduate of an Independent
Study with a residency in Dublin, Ireland that focused on Global Strategies of Pharmaceutical and
Healthcare Marketing from St. Joseph's University.
My roots are with General Electric's Nuclear and Aerospace Divisions. I am a Field Engineer graduate
from San Jose, CA where I was introduced to Life Sciences Industry in 1992 working on Puerto Rico's Eli
Lilly PR3 Project.
Through my vast job tasks and attendance at ISPE meetings, I have met a spectrum of Life Sciences
Individuals that have motivated me to expand my horizons in this industry.
I have broadened my knowledge of the industry from working with the following companies: Warner
Lambert, Wyeth, Sanofi Pasteur, Shein, Merck, and Human Genome Sciences.
In 1998 I worked at Alza in Palo Alto and Mountain View. The following year, the same year I met my wife
Susan, I worked at Baxter in Thousand Oaks. Since this period I have work at Alpha Therapeutics in Los
Angeles, Genetics institute in Andover, MA, Amgen in Thousand Oaks and Fremont, Aventis in Kankakee,
Il, Taiwan Vaccines in Tapia and Kaesong Taiwain, TEVA pharmaceuticals in Irvine, Novo Nordisk in
Haywood, Irvine Pharmaceuticals/Avrio in Irvine, Neutrogena in LA, as well as Baxter in Los Angeles.
My personal hobbies include baseball, fishing, and golf. The reason I moved to California, other than for
my wife, is to have five baseball teams, increasing my chances of winning the World Series (go Giants!).
I have zero sick days since I have been in this industry, trying to duplicate Cal Ripken's record.
Congratulations to the MVP members Clayton Kershaw (CY Young) of the LA Dodgers and Mike Trout of
the LA Angels.
Please attend our ISPE LA Chapter events to increase your industry knowledge. Also I give my

ISPE Membership Who We are
A report from the Chapter's Membership Chair
by Margaret Stava of Laboratory Equipment Co.
ISPE provides professional development and networking opportunities for everyone with an interest in
supporting and growing the pharma and biotechnology industries. Our Members are top influencers
within their respective areas of expertise. ISPE provides tremendous value through various professional
development opportunities that include ongoing education and training programs (including online
classes), the ability to stay current on the latest industry trends on a worldwide basis, working with the
FDA to develop Baseline® Pharmaceutical Engineering Guides, articles, career opportunities and ISPE
Communities of Practice (COPs.)

The ISPE Greater Los Angeles Area Chapter was founded in 1995 and is made up of biotechnology,
pharmaceutical, generic drug, contract manufacturing companies and Student Chapters at local
universities, as well as supporting industry professionals from architectural, engineering and construction
firms, government agencies, universities, equipment manufacturers, and suppliers. Individual functions
within these companies include production/manufacturing, project/facility maintenance engineering,
QA/QC, process development, microbiology, regulatory affairs, research, training, materials management,
purchasing, and corporate and product management.

Our Chapter offers affordable, very highquality programs so that our Members can remain at the top of
their game while meeting others in our industry. We also have fun!

We look forward to an exciting 2015.
