Leading Through Regulatory Change: ACRP’s Blueprint for Trust and Education
In this episode of The Association Insights Podcast, host Meghan Henning sits down with Lisa Townsend, Director of Marketing & Communications at the Association of Clinical Research Professionals (ACRP), to unpack what it looks like when an association doesn’t just react to industry change—but leads through it. As the global clinical research industry prepared for significant updates to the ICH E6 guidelines, ACRP recognized the moment for what it was: not just a regulatory update, but a critical inflection point for education, trust, and leadership. Lisa shares how her team transformed that complexity into a coordinated, member-driven communications and learning ecosystem—earning an Association Insights CommImpact Award and empowering tens of thousands of professionals worldwide. Whether your association is navigating regulatory change, industry disruption, or shifting member expectations, this episode offers practical insights on how communications, collaboration, and agility can turn uncertainty into leadership.
