California Life Sciences Association (CLSA) is the leading voice for California’s life sciences sector. We work closely with industry, government, academia and other stakeholders to shape public policy, drive business solutions and grow California’s life sciences innovation ecosystem. CLSA serves over 750 biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical device, and diagnostics companies, research universities and institutes, investors, and service providers.

The California Health Information Association (CHIA) is the premier association of health information management professionals in California. CHIA members are dedicated to excellence in the management of personal health information required to deliver quality healthcare to the public. CHIA, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was first established in 1949 and is the California state affiliate of the American Health Information Management Association  (AHIMA). CHIA ensures the personal and professional growth of our members and advances the health information management community through networking, education, shared knowledge, and advocacy.

Within CHIA, there are seven regions called Component Local Associations (CLAs). The CLAs provide networking and educational opportunities to members at the local level.
