Let us take you on a virtual tour of our first Capitol Hill Day were we met with 30 Congressional offices.
- Our objective was to educate legislators and staff on how establishing higher levels of vitamin D can reduce preterm births.
- Our request was to have them write letters to FDA Commissioner Gottlieb in support of our health care claim petition.
- Our membership team included raw ingredient suppliers, brands, retailers and consumers.
- Our meetings were facilitated by Jonathan Posey, Founder and Executive Director of the Council of Holistic Health Educators, our newest member and partner in this effort.
