This session will share the excellent collaboration of the GAMP Community and its contribution to the pharmaceutical industry in the area of Computer Excellence and Quality, through expert guide publication and insightful and timely articles. While regional and global GAMP communities focus in Industry-wide needs, in Europe and Asia, local communities work within the ISPE Affiliates to provide for the needs of specific countries, specifically to connect in local language and facilitate face to face activities. Now, ISPE Chapters will join the affiliates with the formation of the first Chapter level COP, ISPE GAMP Boston, within the ISPE Boston Chapter.
