The Dietary Supplements Quality Collaborative (DQSC), a cross-sector organization working to improve the quality and safety of dietary supplements, has appointed Liz Richardson to Chair and Steve Mister to Vice Chair of its steering committee. The term length for each position will be one year.
Richardson, in her current role as project director for health care products at the Pew Charitable Trusts, has a background in working to strengthen and improve medical product regulation to safeguard patients and consumers. Prior to joining Pew, she worked at the Duke-Robert J. Margolis Center for Health Policy, where she oversaw a variety of projects related to FDA regulation and value-based payment models.
During Mister’s tenure as president and CEO of the Council for Responsible Nutrition, which began in 2005, the organization has sharpened its strategic focus to advance the industry through a number of initiatives that promote responsible business practices and provide consumer education.
