New Community Co- Chairs Elected !Please congratulate Steve Lehotay and Kate Mastovska as the new Co-Chairs of the Chemical Contaminants and Residues in Food Community Steven Lehotay, slehotay@ars.usda.gov Kate Mastovska, katerina.mastovska@covance.com Subgroup Chairs are chosen by their subgroups and approved by the Chairs. The current Subgroup Chairs will prepare the agenda and program for their individual meetings this year. New Subgroup Chairs may be chosen during the Annual Meeting based on the needs of the particular subgroup. Pesticides: Jon Wong, jon.wong@fda.hhs.gov Veterinary Drugs: Sherri Turnipseed, sturnips@ora.fda.gov Metals: Cory Murphy, Cory.Murphy@inspection.gc.ca Unknowns: Thierry Delatour, thierry.delatour@rdls.nestle.com The current Voting Members will remain in office at least until the AOAC 2012 Annual Meeting. Chairs, Subgroup Chairs and Voting Members review recommendations brought to the Community by the Subgroups or other Stakeholder groups and vote for Community approval. Requests to establish another subgroup, proposals to collaborate methods or submissions of validation protocols for publication might be submitted for approval by the Community. These submissions will be announced on the Community website and will be made available for review to any interested members of the Community. We do not currently have any submissions for Community approval but there are several methods being considered for collaboration by Community members at this time. If Community members have any concerns about proposals brought before the Community, they should discuss their concerns with these representatives. Voting Members are recommended to the Chairs by the Subgroup Chairs. The Chairs choose a group of Voting Members who will represent the various stakeholder groups within the Community. As an example, if the subgroup chairs represent U.S. government agencies, the voting members might be chosen because they represent different counties or industry. For that reason, not all recommendations will necessarily be approved by the Chairs because there needs to be a balance of representation. The following Community members have agreed to serve as voting members from September 2010 – 2012. Lei Bao, Shan Dong Exit and Entry Inspection and Quarantine Bureau of China, baoleiqd@yahoo.com.cn |
