Ed Evarts, leadership development coach, management consulting for 3D Leadership Group, a Boston-based leadership development firm, has been selected to speak at MAGI’s Clinical Research Conference – 2018 East, being held in Arlington, Virginia, from May 20-23.

Model Agreements & Guidelines International (MAGI) is streamlining clinical research by standardizing best practices for clinical operations, business, and regulatory compliance. The organization’s 10,000+ members represent most of the major players in the industry, including clinical research sponsors, sites, and CROs. The 2018 East Conference will feature more than 100 sessions and workshops set within seven tracks: sponsor operations, site operations, regulatory and ethics, contracts, budgets and billing, quality (“virtual” track), and special topics. Over 600 attendees are expected at the conference.

Evarts will specifically be addressing Career Management and Leadership Development, paying special attention to how leaders can develop their people and build a successful career for themselves. He will be joined in this discussion by Quincy J. Byrdsong, EdD, CIP, CCRP, executive director for research administration, WellStar Research Institute – WellStar Health System; Chuck Crumpton, president, Medpoint, LLC; and Pamela Wiggins, EdD, Certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, CEO & owner, Wiggins Management & Consulting, LLC.

With over 30 years of innovative leadership and management experience, Evarts possesses the ability to build awareness, create action, and deliver results. He has partnered with key leaders in biotechnology and healthcare (among other industries), including Avecia, Biogen, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Johnson & Johnson, Partners Healthcare, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, and Vertex Pharmaceuticals. Evarts is also the author of the new book, Raise Your Visibility & Value: Uncover the Lost Art of Connecting on the Job, focusing on seven visibility accelerators that help business professionals become more visible and valuable in their organizations and industry.

“Within the life sciences industry there’s tremendous focus on technological developments, and rightfully so, but sometimes we can overlook our own professional development as well as our employees’ professional development,” said Evarts. “In a field that relies so heavily on collaboration and creativity, this investment in human resources is vital for further success.”

“Ed is a great choice to represent 3D Leadership Group at the upcoming MAGI Conference,” said Angie O’Donnell, executive coach and co-founder of 3D Leadership Group. “His experience as a coach and human resources executive combined with his enthusiasm and accessible style help him connect with leaders of organizations representing all facets of the biotech and pharmaceuticals realms.”
