Chris took the helm of the WBBA in January 2009 and is on a mission to grow the region's capabilities and distinction in the industry... and to make sure the world knows about it. "There are world-class companies, individuals and opportunities in the Northwest and unsurpassed talent when it comes to commercialization."
