Mission statement

GCSG members are passionate about knowledge sharing and gather to collaborate, share, and grow. By coming together and driving outcomes, we inspire each other to influence our industry and make patients’ lives better. Our members contribute to our clinical supply industry and enrich others around them. We are open to continuously improving, innovating and growing as the industry changes.

We prioritize sharing knowledge. We ensure that everyone – our members and volunteers – feels welcomed and respected. We are dedicated to maintaining transparency in our decision-making processes and take pride in how we conduct ourselves.

Everyone contributes their time, energy, effort, and skills to help each other and support our colleagues in becoming more knowledgeable and successful. We care for one another and are ready to step up when needed, always maintaining a patient-centric approach. We strive to provide the best professional and personal development sessions to help our colleagues become the best versions of themselves.

At GCSG events, we collaborate with attendees to tackle challenges that can increase our value while ultimately benefiting patients.

Members feel welcomed and included in a positive, fun environment where they can network with other professionals in the clinical supply and related industries. Learning, growth, and belonging are enhanced by the enjoyable experiences we share.

Professionalism, integrity, and candor involve mutual respect for one another and each other’s value. We emphasize the importance of open and honest discussions regarding expectations and deliverables while holding each other to the highest standards. This approach encourages avoiding “groupthink” and fosters an environment where individuals feel safe to disagree with the majority respectfully. Additionally, during moments of mistakes, failures, or conflicts, we demonstrate compassion and empathy by recognizing that everyone is human.

These traits are practiced in board meetings, executive committee discussions, team meetings, and during any decision-making process.

Courage and risk-taking involve doing what is right for the industry rather than choosing the easy path. This includes exploring new ideas, concepts and topics; inviting different speakers and considering various venues while acknowledging that not every initiative will succeed. It also means taking a leadership role in shaping industry standards and regulations. Finally, we should aim to expand our reach beyond our borders to benefit clinical supply professionals around the world.
