CLS assembles, informs and empowers to elevate your voice.

Issue Education Highlights

CLS routinely convenes facility tours, roundtables and other educational briefings on current life sciences policy issues and priorities. Working in partnership with select committees, caucuses, legislators, legislative staff, and CLS members, we aim to foster robust state policy discussions to make your voice heard and to build productive relationships with high priority legislators across the state.  In 2025, CLS will continue our work with the Black, Latino, Women’s, and API legislative caucuses to host events centered on disparities in coverage for diseases and general care.
