National Industry Council
The Medical Industry Leadership Institute (MILI) National Industry Council (NIC) is comprised of senior level executives from prominent medical industry firms as well as banking and consulting firms with strong connections to the medical industry who partner with MILI strengthen the relationship between our program and the industry at large. Through years of experience, MILI realizes that it isn’t often that peers from different sectors of the medical industry can gather and discuss trends, issues, and opportunities their companies face. MILI wants to facilitate those discussions in a neutral educational environment. As MILI approaches its third decade of operation, we have discovered the importance of creating a space and group that encourages this interaction though the NIC.
