ABout our leadership
The USRSB is comprised of the following five constituencies: producers, allied industry, packers/processing, retail/foodservice and civil society.
The board of directors, made up of an equal number of board seats from each constituency, directs the activities of the USRSB. The board of directors guides the work of the USRSB through working groups, committees and task forces. It is through these working groups that the USRSB’s work is accomplished.
