Editor's note: Contributors were asked to either complete a questionnaire or use
it as the basis for a post. These are the words of the contributor, who were
selected by the association. Any edits made were done for space considerations.
Want to be included? Contact petecroatto@yahoo.com.

What is the purpose of your association?

The American Herbal Products Association (AHPA) is the national trade
association and voice of the herbal products industry. Founded in 1982, AHPA's
mission is to promote the responsible commerce of herbal products. AHPA serves
members by working to improve market opportunities for companies that sell
herbal and botanical products and ensure that consumers continue to enjoy
informed access to a wide choice of goods.

Who does your membership consist of?

AHPA is comprised of more than 300 domestic and foreign companies doing business
as growers, processors, manufacturers, and marketers of herbs and botanical and
herbal products, including foods, dietary supplements, cosmetics, and
non-prescription drugs. AHPA also has associate members (individuals,
corporations, partnerships, and other organizations) that support the botanical
industry through research, education, consulting, legal and regulatory guidance,
public relations, marketing, and medical expertise.

What are the qualifications for membership?

AHPA members agree to comply with AHPA’s Code of Ethics & Business Conduct which
was developed by members and outlines the ethical business practices of
responsible herbal product companies and organizations.  AHPA also encourages
members to adopt its Guidance Policies, which address a variety of labeling and
manufacturing issues and that reflect the consensus of AHPA members and board of
trustees.

What services or benefits do you provide your members?

AHPA is an experienced, knowledgeable, and responsive resource that serves the
broad needs of the industry and provides personalized assistance to members.
AHPA actively engages Congress, federal agencies, state and local governments
and the scientific community to influence laws, regulations and guidance. AHPA
keeps members informed about the latest news and issues that impact their
businesses and produces educational events with leading experts on key issues
that impact the industry. As the voice of the industry, AHPA works to publicize
the benefits of herbal products and respond to inaccurate information.

How is your organization different than others representing the natural products
industry?

AHPA is the primary trade association with a focus on herbal and botanical
products. AHPA also has an active membership that participates on committees
where they collaborate to address regulatory and technical issues that impact
them.

What does your organization hope to accomplish in the upcoming months?

In October, AHPA will hold its 2014 Botanical Congress at SupplySide West to
provide information about and demonstrations of the analytical tools and methods
that experts use to effectively identify a wide variety of botanicals. AHPA is
also working to produce a seminar that explores the issues that contract
manufacturers and own-label distributors must negotiate to ensure compliance
with current rules and regulations.  AHPA also recently launched a free, online
Botanical Identity Reference Compendium and we continue to add material to this
searchable database. AHPA will also be holding committee meetings and membership
receptions at Expo West.

In your opinion, what's your role in the natural products industry?

AHPA focuses on herbal and botanical products and promotes the responsible
commerce of these products, helping ensure consumers have informed access to
high-quality products. AHPA helps enhance consumers’ health and quality of life
through the responsible use of herbal products.
