PMRG currently has four established committees:

Government Affairs (GA) - Committee is to serve as a permanent volunteer addition to PMRG that proactively monitors and assesses evolving state and federal government policy initiatives that are of relevance to the Pharmaceutical Market Research Profession. In addition, the committee will, when appropriate, advocate on behalf of PMRG membership with relevant policy officials.

Marketing is an overall function of each standing committee.

These committees make up the heart of PMRG. Our dedicated volunteers from a variety of companies give of their time and energy to advance the vision and mission of the organization.

Committee membership offers a unique opportunity for members to take advantage of career-enhancing leadership opportunities and networking.

Thoughts from volunteers

Minimize

"Serving as a PMRG Volunteer placed me in a position where I had a leadership position amongst a group of the most talented managers in the industry. Amongst other things, this was a tremendous benefit in terms of being able to observe their various leadership styles and tactics in action. It also gave me a chance to experiment with my own skills, styles and tactics more quickly than would have been the case in my own day to day responsibilities. Serving as a PMRG Volunteer provided excellent visibility and networking opportunities. It provided a sense of accomplishment, and was also a lot of fun."
- Jeff Adler

“PMRG is like any organization, the more we put in, the more we get out. I am absolutely in a better place professionally because of my volunteer work for PMRG. I know more people and more things than I would simply by attending meetings.”
- Tim O'Rourke

"My individual motivation for volunteering with PMRG was a way to be included in the growth and education in a professionally-run organization. The team members with whom I have been involved with (PMRG Staff and volunteers on the Programming Committee, Education Committee, Membership Committee and Executive Committee) are collectively some of the most dedicated volunteers I have yet to work with. I have always found my involvement in volunteer positions as a wonderful way to increase knowledge through hands-on experience, team development and networking opportunities. This is certainly not an organization to sit back and watch others do the work… you sign up… you’ll be used and have some fun along the way too!"
- Scott Baker

"I have found that volunteering for PMRG has allowed a wonderful opportunity to spend valuable time working closely with colleagues, clients, and people I can now consider friends. There are so many learning opportunities with PMRG and I am excited to share the information about the organization with others. You develop a real close bond with people when you work together on a project, and that is an invaluable experience."
