Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network
Chief Development Officer · Jan 2011 to Jun 2011
The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN) was established in 1991. Anne Muñoz-Furlong founded the organization after her daughter was diagnosed with milk and egg allergy as an infant. She discovered that information vital to raising a child with food allergies was not widely available.
FAAN’s membership now stands at approximately 25,000 worldwide and includes families, dietitians, nurses, physicians, school staff, and representatives from government agencies and the food and pharmaceutical industries. FAAN serves as the communication link between the patient and others.
FAAN is funded through membership dues, sale of materials, donations, and grants.

That's all I'm gonna say.
Great to see the leadership of AAFA (Asthma & Allergy Foundation of America), KFA (Kids With Food Allergies), FAF (Food Allergy Foundation), and FARE (Food Allergy Research & Education, formerly FAAN) all in a single 2-day trip to DC! Rest assured food allergy community that we have some amazing individuals and organizations working tirelessly on our behalf!
Our efforts include providing support and emergency financial assistance to families coping with life-threatening food allergies as they struggle with devastating budget issues.
This is one of the more intriguing things about this organization--QuoteOur efforts include providing support and emergency financial assistance to families coping with life-threatening food allergies as they struggle with devastating budget issues.
To whatever extent this is true, that DOES make this organization somewhat unique. It also means that transparency collides with privacy, which is also interesting from a functional legal perspective.
What's his LinkedIn say?
Someone on Twitter (it may have been the FoodAllergyB*) asked some questions and didn't get much info on Twitter. I don't know if she/he received more info privately in email or DM.
Perhaps he would have been more forthcoming.

Yes, yes I do. :yes: (And no, I don't live in a blighted industrial area ;) )
candyguru,
Your killing me!!!! Note to self.....make coffee after visiting FAS, not before!
That photo needs a frame!
I have not had my coffee yet! Hi candyguru! Hey is there a cow in the background waiting to get in? See, I need my coffee!
booandbrimom, I am speechless.
Make sure you don't miss the "Eva Peron" approach with regard to how to spend the donations:
[url]http://foodallergyfoundation.org/donate/save_michael[/url]
"For just $10 a day, YOU can save a child from this horrible, horrible fate."
To be fair, for those who have not gone to the website donation page it does not in fact say that. I think Boo was poking fun at their approach. :)
This is so not the approach I would take as a fundraiser. Really not.
And again, wouldn't they be better off working with FARE to get the laws changed in their state so that insurance would have to cover the formula or working even with current laws and their allergist to get the formula covered? This must have cost start up money to do. I would think that money would have been better spent to get formula coverage. (which is a huge, important issue.) OK, that's assuming the story is true.

RdV Vineyards
September 2012 – March 2013 (7 months) Delaplane, VA
RdV Vineyards is a private boutique winery located in Delaplane, VA. We are a fairly new winery – we are currently selling our second vintage – and we are going against the traditional methods of producing and selling wine in Virginia. We are not open to the public and produce roughly 2,000 cases of wine each year.
We produce two Bordeaux-blend wines: Lost Mountain and Rendezvous. Lost Mountain and Rendezvous have been praised for their elegance and finesse, as well as their power and structure. We have been fortunate to have several critics visit us, including Master of Wine Jancis Robinson.
What is an RdV Ambassador? RdV Ambassadors are artists, actors, athletes, investors, politicians, restaurateurs, lawyers, journalists, CEOs and marines. They come from all walks of life and all around the country. They are all renegades who take the lead in their own lives and who enjoy exploring and discovering life’s fines pursuits. Together, they make up an exclusive community of people who believe in reconnecting with the land to produce a wine unlike any before it.
