The U.S. Senate approved legislation that would for the first time require food to carry labels listing genetically-modified ingredients, which labeling supporters say could create loopholes for some U.S. crops.

A few weeks ago, NAC announced a contest to develop a tagline that goes with its name, logo and other communications. The contest seeks to find a sentence or phrase that accurately and succinctly captures the essence of the Association, its members and value relevant in today's industry environment. Many of you submitted great ideas to the Outreach Committee for consideration. The Committee has carefully reviewed the submissions and has selected these finalists to be voted on by the members of NAC. Voting will be done exclusively using the SurveyMe App. NAC and SurveyMe are partnering to enhance the experience for attendees of the Expo. However, you do not have to be present at the Expo and can download the App right now to vote. Click here for more information on how to download the SurveyMe App and vote!
