EphMRA becomes the first GRBN Associate Member

The Global Research Business Network (GRBN) and EphMRA, the global association of pharmaceutical and healthcare researchers and insights professionals, today announce that EphMRA has joined the Global Research Business Network as the first Associate Member. Up until early this year, only regional federations and their national association members have been eligible for GRBN membership. The GRBN Board recognized the limitations of this membership structure, as there are a number of associations, such as industry or methodology-based associations, which do not fit the national/regional association model, and therefore were unfortunately ineligible for membership. By changing the statutes to create an Associate Member class, GRBN is able to include these other associations into the network, for the benefit of both the associate members, and their members, as well as the national and regional association members, and their members, and is delighted to have EphMRA join the network as the first Associate Member.
