All of us with the AURP community extend our deepest condolences to the LaPere and EcoMap families on the passing of Pava LePere, EcoMap's Co-Founder and Chief Ecosystem Officer.
Pava and EcoMap were partners with AURP at our BIO Health Caucus in Boston earlier this summer and at other tech gatherings including IEDC in Dallas and SSTI in Atlanta this year.

Pava was a tremendous leader, starting in the tech community in Maryland, developing an entrepreneur ecomap for the state, and leading EcoMap in an amazing growth trajectory across the U.S. and around the world in just a few short years.
Pava and her leadership, plus her infectious enthusiasm, will be missed.
