US-based industry body the Insights Association has engaged industry consultant Hilary Fischer for its newly created role of Director of Chapter Engagement, providing support for members of the association’s twelve chapters.

Formed earlier this year through the merger of CASRO and MRA, the association represents the research profession and industry by providing government advocacy; bolstering the industry’s image; offering marketing support, and establishing professional standards and best practices. Fischer (pictured), who is a former President and Board member of the association Greater NY Chapter, currently runs her own consultancy HJF, offering support to MR organizations. She has more than two decades of experience within the healthcare research industry, most recently with SHC, where she served as Chief Revenue and Strategy Officer. Previously, she was COO US at All Global, and VP, Global Operations at Kantar Health.

In her new role, she is dedicated to supporting the chapters and assisting leaders with implementing the association’s new Chapter Partnership Agreement, which defines resources, training and tools the association will provide to the chapters. CEO David Almy comments: ‘We’re thrilled to welcome Hilary and tap her wealth of experience at this exciting juncture for our association and its chapters. Central to this work is our passionate belief that our chapters can make an essential contribution to our members' success.’
