Start Date: 22-Sep-10 12:30 PM
End Time: 22-Sep-10 2:00 PM
Location: VBED - Conference Room, Virginia Beach, VA
Event Details:

Dear Friends of Biotech at the Beach,

Please find enclosed an invitation to our ninth meeting of the "Biotech at the Beach" Luncheon Series. Thank you for your continued support of this program!

Topic: The Future of Medical Safety: Training the Next Generation

Presenter: Jack Becker, Founder/President of Flight Level Solutions

Date: Wednesday, September 22, 2010

Time: 12:30p to 2:00p

Location: VBED Conference Room located in the Armada Hoffler Tower at 222 Central Park Ave, Suite 1000, Virginia Beach, VA

Hosted By: Mr. Robert Ruhl of VBED and Dr. Gary Pekoe of Arkios BioDevelopment/Dalos BioPharma

In 1999 the Institute of Medicine (IOM) published the report “To Err is Human,” that estimated as many as 98,000 deaths per year occur in U.S. Hospitals due to preventable errors. Today experts agree in 2010 that number could approach 200,000. The IOM suggested Crew Resource Management (CRM) training as one solution for this epidemic.

CRM is strongly recommended by leading healthcare organizations:

• Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO)

• Institute of Medicine (IOM)

• The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)

• Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)

• Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP)

Join us as Jack takes us through an incredibly relevant discussion about how his local company is revolutionizing the approach to human safety in medicine (and other industries), whether it be research laboratories, manufacturing, hospitals, ORs, or medical companies.

Please pass this information along to all of your colleagues. As we strive to build a biotech community in the region, the participation of business and community people outside of the scientific/medical community is crucial.

Please RSVP to me by Monday, September 20, so that we can accommodate for lunch!

2010 - 2011 Total Compensation Survey of Mid-Atlantic Technology Companies

Jarrett Early — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 15:21:13 GMT

Technology Hampton Roads invites your participation in the Total Compensation Survey of Mid-Atlantic Technology Companies. The 20^th annual survey is dedicated to serving the needs of technology firms throughout the Mid-Atlantic region, with a particular focus on small-to-medium companies that are interested in obtaining competitive salary and incentive bonus rates for 40 benchmark jobs, ranging from the Chief Executive Officer to Programmer Analyst, Senior Software Developer, Network Engineer, and Technical Support Specialist. Benchmark job descriptions are provided to assist in making appropriate matches. The survey is the most comprehensive assessment of total compensation practices for technology firms in the Mid-Atlantic region.

The 2010 – 2011 survey questionnaire can be found at www.knowledgebank.us.com; respondents can download the survey and return the completed form to surveysubmission@knowledgebank.us.com. Participating companies will be provided a free copy of the summary results in November. The deadline for responses is Friday, October 1st.

In addition, the summary report to be published in November will include salary adjustment, annual and equity incentive plan, human resource practice, and employee benefit plan prevalence data. To participate, firms must have more than two employees and provide pay data matches for at least two of the 40 jobs. Your company’s responses will be kept strictly confidential and will not be shared with any other organization.

Non-participating technology firms can purchase the survey results for $400.

The 2010 – 2011 survey is co-sponsored by regional technology councils and other membership-based organizations that serve technology firms in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia and Delaware. Last year, 100 firms participated, with median revenue of $7.2 million and a median of 41 employees. This year, we are expecting a significant increase in the number of participating companies as we continue to add new co-sponsors throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.

For additional information, please contact Steve Rosenthal, Vice President & Compensation Practice Leader for KnowledgeBank at (703) 448-8070 ext. 15 or srosenthal@knowledgebank.us.com.
