MichBio Leader Cites New Senate Biosciences Task Force and House Subcommittee as Evidence of State's Growing Awareness of Industry's Economic Importance

state legislators co-chaired by Randy Richardville and Rep. Rebekah Warren (D-Ann Arbor), with a common interest in supporting and growing the biosciences industry in Michigan.

Simply put, those members who've taken advantage of our Providers save cold, hard cash - many times their annual membership fee."

MichBio's Preferred Providers offer members with access to services and/or discounts on products and services such as laboratory supplies, insurance, professional and scientific journals; media services; office supplies and furniture; computer and technology products and website development. During the meeting, Rapundalo announced the addition of four new providers: information and business research services through Nature and Windhover, lab gas supplies via Linde Gas, and financial and accounting services with Doeren Mayhew.

In the area of communications and visibility, Rapundalo noted that to bolster the state's efforts to promote its bioscience assets, infrastructure, talent, capabilities, techno
