CRN members can pause for some affirmative fist bumps—it’s because of your commitment to a strong code of ethics and always raising the bar by putting ‘responsibility first’ that this industry is thriving. While 2017 has been a year of unpredictability and volatility in some respects for our marketplace, this has been a year of increased stature, sales and strength. As I observed at CRN’s annual conference in Arizona last fall, it is a great time to be in the industry! As the steward of CRN for the past 12 years, I’ve observed this industry mature under the Good Manufacturing Practices regulations, adverse event reporting, and three sets of Dietary Guidelines. The industry further evolved as CRN worked to help enact the Food Safety Modernization Act, the Designer Anabolic Steroid Control Act, and the new law on GMO labeling. Now companies are more focused on safety, quality, and product integrity than ever before, and CRN continues to lead in self-regulatory initiatives renewing the NAD Advertising Review Program, and launching the Supplement OWL. It’s a testament to you, our members, how far we have come. From the collaborative spirit and the synergy of the CRN staff, working across departments, to the trust you place in CRN to influence policy and public perception, we are shaping a bright future. I invite you to review this report and share in celebrating what we’ve accomplished together as we shaped the industry in 2017 —and to be inspired by what’s to come.
