This non-profit organization's board is comprised of industry leaders dedicated to ensuring high standards in material quality and safeguarding patients from substandard pharmaceuticals.
The newly appointed board integrates both returning members and new faces, which is essential for maintaining a fresh perspective in its operations. Scott Kammer, who served as Chair Emeritus from Takeda, remains a key figure along with Jennifer Stone from PTC Therapeutics, who takes the reins as Chair. Kathleen Silva from MilliporeSigma (part of Merck KGaA) is set to serve as Vice-Chair. Their experience, alongside other esteemed board members like Christian Liebl from Schreiner MediPharm and Amber Hollner from Amgen, fortifies Rx-360's strategic initiatives.
Jennifer Stone expressed her enthusiasm about leading the organization, noting the vital role the board members play in continuing Rx-360’s mission. She emphasized the organization’s ongoing dedication to patient safety and its growth in the pharmaceutical sector.

He pointed out that the board's unwavering commitment to the organization’s goals is what underpins its ability to effectively serve the pharmaceutical community.
Throughout 2024, Rx-360® has seen expansions in its membership base and its Joint Audit Program®, which aims to alleviate audit burdens for pharmaceutical manufacturers and suppliers.
