Committees

Committee members play a critical role in providing FDLI with subject-matter and editorial advisory expertise.

Why Serve on an FDLI Committee?

FDLI committee members are critical to the continued success of our events, publications, and other offerings to the food and drug law community. Committee service offers unparalleled opportunity to connect with fellow members of the FDLI community while sharing your subject-matter and editorial advisory expertise in guiding FDLI’s programs and publications.

Expectations for FDLI Committee Service

*Committee members must be FDLI members unless they are current government employees. If you believe a unique qualification or circumstance warrants an exception, please contact the membership team at [email protected]. Please Note: Government employees are assumed to be applying in their official capacity and may have internal approval processes that must be completed before final acceptance of an invitation to serve on a committee.

**For conference-specific committees, this commitment is typically concentrated in the six months prior to the event date.

FDLI’s Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

As a membership organization, FDLI is committed to supporting, promoting, and celebrating diversity, equity and inclusion in the food and drug law profession. In order to fulfill this key aspect of our mission and core values as an organization, the FDLI Board of Directors affirms that all members and professionals within the field, whatever their race, religion, ethnicity, gender, gender identity or expression, national origin, genetics, age, sexual orientation, or disability, are valued, respected, and included in our community. We seek to address inequities not only within FDLI’s organizational positions, including member committee leadership/membership, speaking and author roles, and staff, but also in the pipeline of emerging food and drug law professionals in our work with graduate schools, law schools, and students. 

Adopted by the FDLI Board of Directors, Sept. 9, 2020.
