WATERTOWN, Mass.– Lyndra Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company working to make daily pills a thing of the past, today announced that President and Chief Operations Officer Jess Ballinger has been named to the National Small Business Association (NSBA) Leadership Council, joining other advocates from across the country as they work to promote the interests of small business to policymakers in Washington, D.C.
“I’m so excited about the progress our team at Lyndra has made to fundamentally change how people take their medicine, but I’m just as proud of the way we’re doing this: as a women-led company that truly embraces and understands the importance of diversity and inclusiveness,” stated Ballinger. “I’m honored to join the NSBA Leadership Council and to be able to bring my passion for science and DE&I to this team of expert small-business leaders. As the backbone of American commerce, innovation and diverse ideas, small businesses need their voices heard in Congress – now more than ever as we continue to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. I’m elated to be part of this important effort.”
NSBA is the nation’s oldest small-business advocacy organization and operates on a staunchly nonpartisan basis. Focused on tackling the many critical issues facing small business — including tax reform, regulatory restraint, healthcare costs and how access to capital will impact small business – the NSBA Leadership Council also provides valuable networking opportunities among small-business advocates and ensures small business has a seat at the table as Congress and regulators take up key proposals.
“I am proud to have Jess Ballinger as part of our Leadership Council,” stated NSBA President and CEO Todd McCracken. “She came to us highly recommended, and I look forward to our coordinated efforts for years to come.”
