NAHSA Committees
Industry Advocacy Committee - Ron Eberly - American Clay Works, Chair
The goal of the IAC (Industry Advocacy Committee) is to maintain a pulse on government and legislative affairs that impact our industry. Through close partnerships with affiliate and governmental organizations, Committee Members are able to up date members with pertinent information and possible next steps. Recently, IAC Chair Ron Eberly attended the Leonardo Academy's Stakeholder's Dialog Meeting regarding the draft agriculture standards currently under development. These standards have potential implications to NAHSA's members, therefore a task force has been developed chaired by Jessica Hall of Wetsel, Inc.
This Committee is comprised of three sub-committees:
- Water Issues Task Force: Ron Eberly- American Clay Works, Chair
- Government Relations Sub Committee: Rodd Mosel - American Plant Products, Chair
- Sustainability Task Force: Jessica Hall - Wetsel, Inc, Chair
