The Food Advisory Committee is a cooperative effort between Spokane Regional Health District’s Food Safety program and representatives who are active in the local food industry. Members of the committee are elected from various sectors of the food industry, both public and private, in addition to two consumer representatives. The committee assists in the development of educational materials and gives input on health district policies, procedures, regulations and fees in an effort to encourage collaboration between the health district and the community it serves.
Spokane Regional Health District (SRHD) seeks out new members to serve on its Food Advisory Committee every December. Openings on the 13-member committee vary by sector each year and may include representatives from the food and medical industries.
These are voluntary positions. Committee members must be willing to serve a two-year term and be able to attend formal meetings on the first Wednesday of February, June and November. In addition, members must be able to attend a special member selection meeting each January.
