ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association, has announced its establishment of the ISSA Regulatory Affairs Committee (RAC).
This newly formed committee is part of ISSA’s continued investment and expansion of its advocacy efforts.
The ISSA RAC and its members will play a critical role by advocating and educating on key regulatory issues impacting the cleaning industry. It will also play an advisory role in support of the development of ISSA’s positions on state and federal regulatory issues applicable to chemical cleaners, in addition to voluntary ecolabel standards.
It will recommend actions to protect, support and advance the specific interests of ISSA members and of the entire cleaning industry. This includes but is not limited to issue identification and prioritisation, development and promulgation of positions, execution and/or support of regulatory positions, and help in providing feedback for inclusion in ISSA’s comments on regulatory issues.
ISSA congratulates and thanks the following individuals from ISSA member companies for their important service to the cleaning industry as inaugural RAC members:
- Jamey Gaston, Technical Director, Midlab
- Howard Bochnek, Senior Vice President, American Infection Control
- Terry Hall, Vice President of Regulatory, Hillyard Industries
- Lisa Pankiewicz, Vice President Global Stewardship, The Clorox Company
- Ali Luedtke, Regulatory Affairs Specialist, Betco Corporation
- Rebecca Kaufold, Manager of Government Affairs & Sustainability, Spartan Chemical Company
John Nothdurft, ISSA Director of Government Affairs, said: “Each member of ISSA’s RAC brings a wealth of industry knowledge and experience. Our Government Affairs team is excited to welcome them to this new advisory body, and we look forward to working with them to help guide the association’s regulatory advocacy and education efforts.”
