Welcome Message
The FDA Alumni Association is alive and well, and living in... just about everywhere! We're located in Europe, in Asia, and across the USA. We're experienced in administration, we have technical expertise in every program area at FDA, and we know inspections and all that field "stuff."
Our tag line — Serving Those Who Have Served — continues to be our focus. We serve FDA alumni by providing communications, holding functions, listing opportunities, etc., all the things you will read about in our annual report. Serving those who have served also takes the form of helping those who still are serving, the current staff at FDA.
Speaking of current FDA staff, from the very outset, and in spite of our Many of you have heard me say that FDA staff are "alumni in training!? Our intent is to inform and facilitate communications between and among current and past employees of the Agency so that we can continue to undertake efforts that meet our alumni and associate members needs.
A major focus for us over the last year has been the FDAAA International Network. This group has been coordinating the many opportunities for FDA alumni to participate in seminars, training sessions, etc. in Asia and Africa. The world is hungry for information about how FDA works, what is important to FDA, and what do they need to do to be like FDA. FDA itself can only be responsive to a very small number of requests, so there is a role for alumni to fill the gaps. If that sounds like something in which you would be interested, contact Flo Houn or Zili Li.
So, stay tuned and stay engaged. For alumni, it's a good feeling that what you know and the insights you've developed over a career can help to support the Food and Drug Administration. For associate members, you ground us in the present - always a good thing.
F. Alan Andersen
President
