本次活动是自新冠疫情以来CBA的第一次大型线下聚会。宴会邀请了政府嘉宾、CBA董事会成员、CBA执行团队、志愿者、企业会员、合作公司和赞助公司，共有超过120人注册参加了此次聚会。还有不少朋友千里迢迢从外州赶来聚会，CBA新老朋友们在一起相谈甚欢，其乐融融！

在招待酒会和晚宴过后，举行了宴会嘉宾致辞，由海昶生物技术公司首席医学官，CBA副会长Dr. Angela Men主持。

接下来是Deputy Secretary of Maryland State Mr. Luis Borunda先生代表州政府为CBA祝词。 Mr. Borunda 先生是一位成功的企业家，他是马里兰州历史上第一位担任副秘书长的西班牙裔。他是西班牙裔社区的领导者，倡导创业和教育。他说CBA在疫情大流行期间努力为中美和各地的医药界所做的努力和信息分享有目共睹。他非常欣赏CBA的合作分享精神并会继续给予CBA全力的支持。

随后是Maryland State Delegate Ms. Lily Qi给大家致辞。齐女士是代表马里兰州蒙哥马利县第 15 区的州代表。她目前担任Deputy Majority Whip, 以及商业监管小组委员会副主席。她为CBA在疫情间做出的成绩给予祝贺的同时也非常高兴看到越来越多的生物医药公司在马里兰州落户。在她的第一个任期内，她通过了支持生物和科技公司、先进制造和清洁能源创新的立法并为初创生物公司的早期临床实验提供申请资金项目。随着目前越来越多的中国医药公司在美国及全球研发巨大的进展，她坚信CBA必然起到越来越重要的桥梁作用！

然后是Montgomery County Executive Mr. Marc Elrich致辞。Mr. Elrich是现任蒙哥马利郡郡长，他在祝词中提出，他最自豪的职业成就是我们在应对新冠流行病方面取得的成功，其中也有CBA和各位科学家的贡献。依靠数据和科学，而不是政治和舆论，蒙哥马利县成为全国传播率较低和疫苗接种率较高的最佳县之一。他承诺会提供更多的实验室，为医药公司提供合适的工作场所并祝CBA继续发展壮大。

虽然Maryland State Senate Ms. Susan Lee由于个人原因未能到场参会。参议院办公室颁予 CBA 的工作成就奖已寄出。我们感谢Ms. Lee的支持，并希望她能早日康复！

接下来是CBA颁奖仪式，由NIH流行病学家CBA副会长Dr. Yingxi Chen主持。

第一个奖项是CBA 2022 Outstanding Achievements Award，由CBA会长Dr. Song Wu颁发给前美国劳工部财务总长，前财政部财务总长Mr. Samuel Mok，感谢他为华人社区做出的杰出贡献。Mr. Mok随后做了简短的主旨演讲。他提到五月是亚太裔传统月，亚太裔移民先驱为美国的发展作出巨大贡献。Mr. Mok还分享了自己在美近六十余载横跨联邦政府和公司企业界两大领域的生涯，他的分享诚恳真挚，引起了热烈的反响。

接下来第三部分是由CBA董事会秘书长Dr. Yali Fu宣布CBA候任会长 (2023-2024) 为阿斯利康全球监管事务高级总监Dr. Jingyu (Julia) Luan。随后Julia发表了就职感言。她表示，作为第一任有FDA工作经验的CBA会长，她既要做中美生物制药业界的桥梁，也要做中美生物制药业界和监管部门的桥梁。

然后是宴会的第四部分节目演出，由CBA候任会长 (2023-2024) Dr. Jingyu (Julia) Luan主持。首先是大华府男独唱艺术家Mr. Hongfa Chu为大家献上了三首脍炙人口的美声歌曲，深受好评。
