HistoryBuilding up associations
IADSA has been involved in establishing more than 15 of its associations over the past decade. We work with companies and authorities to build national associations in countries where one does not exist.
Structure of IADSA
IADSA is primarily composed of member associations in the food supplement sector representing over 20,000 companies worldwide. As a member of one of these associations you become part of the global network, receiving information and documentation developed by IADSA and able to play a part in shaping future global regulation.
IADSA is managed on a day to day basis by a Board comprising the Chairman, Vice-Chairman and Treasurer, who are elected by the members for a two year term. Two advisory groups advise the Board, representing associations and companies: the Executive Council and the Company Council respectively.
The members meet once a year at the Annual Meeting, which in 2011, is held in Anaheim, CA, United States.
The daily work of IADSA is primarily carried out by the Secretariat which has offices in Brussels and Singapore.
IADSA is constituted according to the laws of Belgium.
