C O U N C I L F O R R E S P O N S I B L E N U T R I T I O N 19 CRN punched up our membership efforts this year, thanks to a new and engaged Membership Committee. CRN sought to broaden our membership to represent voices from all segments of the responsible industry. CRN added 37 new member companies in 2017—and here’s a fun fact: we’ve boosted our representation of products sold exclusively in the natural channel. Thanks to all of you who participated in our first— but not our last—CRN Member Survey. We’ve learned a lot about serving you better. SupplySide West. Expo East. NBJ Summit. CRN was there. Presenting, listening, influencing. In short, shaping for our industry, together. CRN’s Carl Hyland and Andrea Wong with champion boxers Larry Holmes and Gerry Cooney.

In 2017, CRN provided ample opportunities for members to interact with each other—and with potential members, with regulators, with scientists—all with a commitment to building a better, stronger, safer, science-based industry for our consumers. How many of these meetings did you attend? COMMUNICATIONS & MEDIA OUTREACH COMMITTEE
