SBTC members are a diverse group of technology companies who are fighting for an economic environment that promotes high technology businesses. Through this alliance, Ms. Wieland will help promote and protect the Small Business Innovation Research program (SBIR), and the Small Business Technology Transfer program (STTR), two of the most effective and successful innovation programs in the federal government. The SBIR advocates on behalf of all small technology and R&D firms on a wide range of issues, including intellectual property protections, data rights, regulatory reform, cyber-security compliance and government contracting.
Ms. Wieland, a recognized leader in the small-business community, joins the NSBA Leadership Council alongside other small-business advocates from across the country as they work to promote the interests of small business to policymakers in Washington, D.C.
“As a small-business owner on the global life sciences stage, I see daily the importance of being involved and active when it comes to laws and regulation, but more importantly what impacts the livelihoods of small businesses, the life-blood of many communities across the United States post-Covid,” stated Wieland. “Joining NSBA’s Leadership Council and participating on the SBTC will enable me to take our collective small-business message to the people that need to hear it most: Congress.”
Alethea Wieland is a 30-year veteran in life sciences who has devoted her career to regulatory strategy and submissions, regulatory science and policy reform, clinical operations, and corporate compliance. Her areas of expertise include analyzing the intersection of healthcare innovation and policy; developing sustainable corporate affairs programs and policies; training and managing resilient, high-performing clinical operations teams; mitigating risks of clinical trials; and facilitating transparent, accountable sponsor-CRO partnerships.
Wieland joined the NSBA Leadership Council as part of her efforts to tackle the many critical issues facing small business, including tax reform, regulatory restraint, health care costs and how the current administration’s New World Order (NWO) impacts on small business. The NSBA Leadership Council is focused on providing valuable networking between small-business advocates from across the country while ensuring small business a seat at the table as Congress and regulators take up key small-business proposals.
“I am proud to have Alethea Wieland as part of our Leadership Council,” stated NSBA President and CEO Todd McCracken. “She came to us highly recommended and I look forward our coordinated efforts for years to come.”
