The Lodge at Torrey Pines, La Jolla, CA
September 6-8, 2022
NIA West Spring Conference 2022NIA-West’s annual conference has come to a close with happy attendees and exciting plans for the Spring conference. Attendees got a break from the scalding weather inland and enjoyed the Lodge at Torrey Pines with it’s beautiful oceanside location, while catching up with colleagues, networking with new acquaintances and listening to education sessions that enlighted, inspired, and moved us all forward. |
|
| EducationSessions ranged from supply chain to packaging to regulatory affairs and a fun approach to looking back at a career that saw the development of much of the policy that guides us today. Speakers included a stellar lineup who shared their experience and knowledge with all of us. A big thank you to Jim Emme of NOW Foods, Zhaoping Li, MD, Ph.D. from UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine, Hilary Bricken of Harris Bricken, Haeri Roh-Schmidt Ph.D. of Herbalife, Dan Fabricant Ph.D. of NPA, Rosalynd Resendiz of TricorBraun, John Venardos and Peg Carew Toledo of Arnold Porter. |

| GolfGolf was front and center and kicked off the opening day on the South course at Torrey Pines an location that hosts the PGA Tour. Our members had the opportunity to play where the pros play with the stunning La Jolla coastline as a backdrop. |
Horseback RidingJust south of San Diego is a long flat beach where you can ride at the edge of the water. Eleven of our colleagues took a 2.5-hour ride that stretched through the coastal brush along our southern boarder to the coastline. |

| BocceThirty attendees pushed back their sleeves and rolled their bocce balls across the Arroyo Terrace. Jeff Pressman of Purtek and Adam Ernst of United Raws took first, Chris Morey of Bolton and Company and Group took third. |
