fWLSc (2002-2026) - GOODBYE & THANK YOU.
FWLSC was initiated by Nancy Williams and Julie Hatfield of the Health Industry Council (HIC),
with the goal of establishing a Life Sciences presence in Fort Worth.
At the time the organization was founded, the only groups dedicated to health and life sciences in North Texas were
HIC and Connie’s Dallas Forum for Biotechnology (DFBT).
From its first event in 2002, FWLSC hosted/co-hosted 73 events, featuring more than 100 expert speakers and reaching ~2450 attendees.
Supporting Organizations have included:
DFBT, The Dallas-Fort Worth Local Section of the American Chemical Society (ACSDFW),
The Small Chemical Businesses Division of the ACS (SCHB),
and the Optical Society of North Texas.
Over its more than two decades of existence, FWLSC enjoyed the support of 22 sponsors, 7 of which were sustaining.
Our not-so-elevator pitch emphasized that each FWLSC event led to at least one interaction (usually more) that persisted after the event was over.
People got jobs, found grant writers, formed or expanded joint projects, and met musicians and caterers whom they later hired,
to name only a handful of positive outcomes.
More than 24 years ago, HIC recognized the need in Fort Worth for a group such as FWLSC.
We met the need - and then some.
So, again, thanks, everyone for all you’ve done to sustain the important life sciences-related education and support that comprised FWLSC’s mission.
Mission Accomplished.
We love our sponsors and sustaining sponsors and greatly appreciate their decades of support!
