NNFA Changes Name & Opens Office in China
The National Nutritional Foods Association (NNFA), Washington, D.C., has changed its name to the Natural Products Association (NPA). The new name, which was overwhelmingly approved by a recent vote of the association’s membership, more accurately describes the organization’s diverse membership base and positions the association to keep pace with the dynamic natural products marketplace. “Our new name not only reflects the breadth of our existing membership, but it also recognizes the association’s position as the overarching trade organization for the natural products industry,” said David Taylor, president, Natural Products Association.
In other developments, NPA recently opened a branch office in Beijing, China. Heading the newly established office is Jeff Crowther, who comes to the NPA with many years of experience with dietary supplement trade in the China marketplace. In his position as director representative of NPA China, Mr. Crowther will serve as a resource to members about exporting dietary supplements to China. Mr. Crowther and his office will also work to establish relationships with government and agency officials to educate them about the benefits that can accrue to both the fiscal and physical health of China with appropriately liberalized standards.
