ISAPP Industry Advisory Committee
The Industry Advisory Committee was established for the purpose of advising the ISAPP Board of Directors on issues of importance to the science of probiotics and prebiotics. It is recognized that companies conducting business in this field can provide valuable insight into barriers to success and opportunities for development of this industry. As an organization committed to the advancement of the science of probiotics and prebiotics, ISAPP can benefit from such insight. The IAC exists in an advisory capacity only and does not hold any voting power or undue influence over the decisions of the Board of Directors of ISAPP. ISAPP activities are funded largely through IAC membership fees.

Companies involved in, or developing involvement in, manufacture of probiotics or prebiotics or products containing them are appropriate for consideration for Industry Advisory Committee membership. Additionally, companies involved more peripherally with the industry will be considered. Overriding principles for inclusion for IAC membership are listed here. Companies should have:

  • A science-based approach to probiotic and prebiotic product development
  • A commitment to and funding of related research
  • A commitment to responsible product formulation and communications
  • A commitment to the mission of ISAPP and a willingness to work to toward that mission in a collaborative manner with the ISAPP Board of Directors and other IAC members
  • Willingness to pay established IAC membership fees

Furthermore:

  • IAC membership may be limited to assure a working group size conducive to accomplishing established goals
  • The representative of the company sent to participate in the IAC must be a scientist
  • The final decision of inclusion of a company on the IAC shall be made in the discretion of the ISAPP Board of Directors to best meet the needs and maximize the credibility of the IAC. Membership on the IAC may be terminated by the Board of Directors at any time for any reason by a vote of two-thirds of a quorum of the Board
ISAPP would like to thank the following companies for their generous financial contributions to the support of the association activities, especially our meetings held in London, Ontario, Canada (2002), Henley-on-Thames, UK (2003), Copper Mountain, Colorado, USA (2004), Coleraine Northern Ireland UK (2006), London UK (2007) and London Ontario (2008). Furthermore, the scientific contributions of the representatives from these companies are invaluable, especially as they relate to providing insight into how ISAPP might achieve its mission for advancing the science for the fields of probiotics and prebiotics.
