Committee Advisors

It is the general practice of AAFCO to invite representatives of industry/trade associations and consumer groups to serve as advisors to the various AAFCO Committees, task forces or work groups during their open meetings. AAFCO invites these groups to nominate individuals to serve as committee advisors to be available to answer questions relevant to animal nutrition, analytical expertise, industry practices or other pertinent questions. Committee advisors do not serve as members of an AAFCO committee, task force or work group, nor do they have a vote in any AAFCO deliberations. The following committee advisors are currently available as a resource to the specified committee(s) or task force(s):
