Honorary Advisory Board


The Honorable Daniel Glickman

Glickman served as Secretary of Agriculture from 1995-2001.  During his administration, the USDA conceived and implemented the most sweeping meat inspection reforms in over 90 years.  Before his appointment by President Clinton, Glickman served for 18 years in the House of Representatives, including participation in the House Agricultural Commitee and House Judiciary Committee.  Glickman is now a partner in the public law and policy practice group of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, L.L.P.

Mary Heersink

After Heersink's teenage son nearly died from E. coli O157:H7 induced Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome from contaminated ground beef he ate on a Boy Scout outing, she authored E. coli O157:H7: The True Story of a Mother's Battle with a Killer Microbe, about her family's experience.  Widely recognized as a self-trained authority on meat safety and E. coli O157:H7, Heersink was instrumental in founding S.T.O.P.  Her family's ongoing fight against the ravages of E. coli O157:H7 has been the subject of numerous media appearances, including an hour-long documentary on The Learning Channel. 

Michael Taylor

Taylor is Senior Fellow and Director of Risk, Resource and Environmental Management at Resources For The Future. An attorney by training, Taylor was Administrator of the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service from 1994 to 1996, Deputy Commissioner for Policy at the Food and Drug Administration from 1991 to 1994, and an FDA staff lawyer and Executive Assistant to the FDA Commissioner from 1976 to 1981. While at FSIS,  Taylor led the overhaul of USDA's food safety program.
