Hosting a Kick-off Public Policy Webinar will provide a networking opportunity and a chance to practice our advocacy skills.
ODA is proud to offer these events free of charge to our members but we can’t do it without members stepping forward to host. It is important to note that if you choose to sign up individually for the Webinar, it will cost you $19. So please save the date and become involved in our grassroots efforts. Details of the events and registration will be sent soon.
NOTE THESE BENEFITS:
Your ODA affiliate is paying the group registration fee for each Kick-Off Party. There is no cost to you.
The parties will meet for a half-hour before the Webinar Presentation for “networking time.” That is 1:30 pm on March 22nd.
The parties will include light snacks.

IFT Wellness Conference
March 24-25, 2010
InterContinental Chicago O'Hare
Rosemont, Illinois
While functional foods are a rapidly growing market segment, their sale must be approached with caution, as the FDA has sharply increased its enforcement activities under the new administration. Moreover, the FDA does not recognize functional foods because they straddle several FDA classifications, and may involve numerous regulations.
If you're involved in the development, marketing, or labeling of healthful foods, the Wellness 10 conference, powered by Food Technology magazine, is a great opportunity to learn about the regulatory environment for functional foods from some of the industry’s most well-respected experts. Join Anthony Pavel, J.D., Attorney with K&L Gates, and Shanon Trueman, M.S., an Analyst with Nerac, Inc. as they discuss FDA's enforcement of functional foods using examples of currently marketed products. You'll learn how to:
- Apply FDA regulations to functional foods
- Incorporate applicable advertising law principles in your marketing efforts
- Gather and evaluate the types of data needed to support health claims for functional foods
