Shirley Helm certainly deserves to be recognized for Clinical Trials Day. She has nominated several colleagues and now two of them have nominated her! Shirley Helm brings more than 20 years of clinical research experience to her role as Manager of Clinical Research Administration at Virginia Commonwealth University. She is also co-founder of the Central Virginia SOCRA Chapter, participates in a variety of SOCRA events and is signed on to be a 2019 Annual Conference speaker. She is tirelessly devoted to clinical workforce development, not only in her home institution but for facilitating statewide collaboration. As stated by Patti Feldt who nominated her, “Working with Shirley as a co-chairperson keeps my own enthusiasm and commitments high. She is quite the inspiration to me and all other SOCRA members as well!”
