Committees

Committees are established by the Board of Directors to provide advice on matters of interest to the Association. The functions of the committees are:

Activities Committee: The Activities Committee organizes monthly luncheons with key FDA leaders on a variety of topics, arranges the annual dinner, and supports the FDAAA outreach mission to the FDA and regulators abroad. To further this goal, the Committee has formed the FDAAA International Network to provide consultation with foreign regulatory authorities on the establishment and operations of regulatory programs.

Communications Committee: The Communications Committee maintains the Association website, coordinates the preparation of periodic email "Updates" to FDAAA members and prepares the Annual Report. The committee is constantly searching for ways to promote two way communications between and among all members of the Association. To attain this goal, the Committee has formed a Field Sub Committee to bring the Field into the heart of FDAAA in a positive and active manner.

Member Services Committee: The Member Services Committee promotes the recruitment of current employees and alumni of FDA in the Association, maintains the Membership Directory and answers member questions.

Nominating Committee: The Nominating Committee is responsible for recommending members to the Board of Directors for each office of the Association to be filled by election of the member of the Association.

Awards Committee: The Awards Committee manages the FDAAA awards program which includes annual and ad hoc honors to members whose volunteer efforts help to grow FDAAA's membership, ensure effective governance, provide meaningful member benefits, and enhance the Association's public standing through useful liaison with FDA and by other public service activities. It also serves as a primary conduit through which nominations for FDA's Distinguished Alumni Award are solicited and considered
