Director's Letter

Greetings ,


It is time, once again, to select new Board Members!  Applications are now being accepted. 


Nominate yourself or someone else. The application process is simple: send us your contact information, a resume or curriculum vitae, and a brief biographical sketch explaining why you (or your nominee) would be an asset to the BTER Foundation and our members/clients. Once we receive the application materials, we will be in contact within 7 days.


Responsibilities - Board members are elected to a 3-year term, and expected to participate in quarterly meetings (4 meetings per year) and at least one committee assignment. Fundraising is not a mandatory requirement of board membership, but is certainly appreciated.


Send your applications / nominations to info@BTERFoundation.org by the end of September, so that we can hold elections before the end of the year. Drop us a note if you have any questions or concerns. More information will be posted on our website shortly.


Don't forget to check out the other announcements, below: BioTherapy Today! webinars, and needed phage



Advancing healthcare through education and research in biotherapy,

R Sherman (signature)
Biotherapy Live! (and recorded!)

The next broadcast of Biotherapy Live! is tentatively scheduled for October 11.  More information to follow.  Past programs are posted on our Facebook page and YouTube channel.
