The Association of Bioscience Financial Officers International

Our ABFO regional chapters function independently, but coordinate each year in the planning and execution of the ABFO National Conference. Regional Chapters are organized in the centers of highest bioscience industrial concentration across the nation. Their common mission is to facilitate local networking by fostering face-to-face contacts at meetings designed to address issues of interest to bioscience financial officers. This networking becomes national in scope at the National Conference.
