On Tuesday, April 19, 2016 a record number of ILDA members traveled to Thermo Fisher Scientific in Asheville, North Carolina. Upon our arrival we were treated to an amazing breakfast. The group was welcomed by Joe Artega, Director, Product Management and Stephanie Nilen, Site Leader & Director Operations Asheville.
We would like to thank the Thermo staff (see below list) for all their time and hard work in making this one of the most memorable facility tours to date.
We would also like to give a special thank you to Wende Kimble for organizing and coordinating all aspects of the Tuesday tour. Thank you Wende!
