WASHINGTON — The Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), the leading trade association for the dietary supplement and functional food industry, announces that Sauda Johnson has joined the organization’s membership team as its new director, education and events.
Johnson comes to CRN with experience in coordinating and leading special events, meetings and conferences for Washington-based trade and non-profit organizations. Her background includes employment with the Federation of American Scientists, America’s Essential Hospitals, Children’s National Bear Institute, and the Milken Institute School of Public Health.
As director, education and events, Johnson will facilitate CRN’s webinar and educational programs, and manage CRN’s annual conference for the dietary supplement industry which will be held this year in Salt Lake City, Utah October 9–11, as well as other events.
