Shope, Representative Regina Cobb, DDS , Representative Daniel Hernandez, Jr., Representative Amish Shah, MD, and Representative Justin Wilmeth.
The Arizona Bioindustry Association (AZBio) today announced that it will honor ten Arizona Legislators at the 2022 AZBio Trailblazer Awards on December 15, 2022 from 11 AM – 12 PM.
What it means to be a trailblazer…
Each year, AZBio looks back across the legislative session and the year to identify those leaders whose actions and active community engagement support the growth of Arizona’s life science and healthcare industry and help to ensure the people of Arizona benefit from its success. Scores are then tallied, and the top ten legislative leaders are named that year’s Trailblazers.
“This year’s Trailblazers come from both sides of the aisle and both the Senate and the House. They are champions for quality education, improving healthcare delivery, and supporting the growth of our life science ecosystem,” shared AZBio President & CEO Joan Koerber-Walker.
The 2022 AZBio Trailblazer Honorees are:
- Senator Nancy Barto

Looking forward to 2023
