ELMHURST, IL – The ADPI Center of Excellence (COE) is a selected group of dairy industry professionals with expertise across a wide array of dairy related areas including manufacturing processes, application, development, standards, risk management, business planning, quality assurance, testing, grading, business development, strategy, technical specifications, nutrition, regulatory compliance and others.
Access to the COE is just one of many membership benefits that provides ADPI members with an easy and economical way to gain access to a pool of industry experts capable of addressing dairy related questions, issues or concerns they might have.
“We are extremely pleased to announce that this year ADPI has expanded the scope of our COE network and included resources for butter/milkfat and human nutrition expertise in addition to the previously covered areas,” stated Blake Anderson, ADPI CEO. “Their addition reflects ADPI’s commitment to provide our members with dependable and valuable information and works in conjunction with ADPI's newly refreshed strategic plan for 2018 – 2020.”
Each COE member is vetted for their subject matter knowledge, and contracted by ADPI on an annual basis to provide a number of consultative and reference services to it and its membership. COE members are each bound by individual confidentiality agreements in keeping with ADPI’s mission and pre-competitive mandate.
Members may contact COE resources for, on a limited basis, complimentary information and input, and if/as needed may contract directly with those individuals who offer “consultative services” for more detailed or longer term services. COE members may also be able to refer a member to other industry experts for direction and further guidance based on the issue and/or opportunity at hand.
All subject matter communication detail between a member and a COE resource is kept confidential and not published nor shared across ADPI’s membership.
We encourage all ADPI members to contact COE resources with questions and informational needs you have. You may also contact ADPI staff to assist in identifying which COE resource would best fit your need or download this “Quick Guide To The COE.”
Got a question, issue or opportunity, give COE a call.
