ARLINGTON, Va. — The Partnership for Food Safety Education (PFSE) announced several appointments to its board of directors. PFSE is a non-profit, public health organization that develops and promotes education programs to reduce foodborne illness risk for consumers.
The Partnership appointed four new board members: Jane DeMarchi, president of the North American Millers' Association; Stefanie Evans, Ph.D.; and H. Lester Schonberger, Ph.D., associate extension specialist with Virginia Tech/Virginia Cooperative Extension. Sharon Mayl, partner at DLA Piper, was appointed as board advisor.
“We’re so happy to welcome our new board members,” said Harold Chase, PFSE board chair and director of government affairs with NSF. “Our talented Board of Directors is dedicated to stewarding PFSE to be effective at helping people reduce their risk of foodborne illness at home.”
Rotating off the board are Michael Roberson, director of corporate quality assurance with Publix Super Markets and past board chair, as well as Shauna C. Henley, Ph.D., family and consumer sciences educator at the University of Maryland Extension. The Partnership is grateful for their dedication to food safety education and servant leadership.
PFSE also welcomes four new contributing partners: Albertsons, Amazon, Home Chef, and SmartLabel by the Consumer Brands Association. Contributing partners help to keep food safety education resources free to access and provide thought leadership to program development and strategy.
“The Partnership’s historical leadership in public-private collaboration is unique and important to making an impact on foodborne illnesses,” said Britanny Saunier, PFSE executive director. “We’re grateful to have the thought leadership of our Board of Directors, contributing partners, federal liaisons and food safety educators to advance awareness of safe food handling practices for people preparing meals at home.”
