DESCRIPTION:THIS IS AN IBN SPONSORED EVENT. IT IS A BENEFIT OF IBN MEM BERSHIP. A PAYMENT FORM FOR NON-MEMBERS IS BELOW. If you are not a mem ber, you can join at this link. If you do not wish to join but wish to attend this seminar, please use the seminar payment form below.\n\nAc cording to the Organic Trade Association, sales of organic food and no n-food products grew by 17.1% in 2008. Sales of organic non-food produ cts (like personal care products, organic fibers and pet foods) grew b y 39.4%, for a total of $1.648 billion in sales.\n\nNot surprisingly, everyone wants to use the word \"organic\" on the personal care produc ts labels, and this training webinar will help you know how and when y ou can do that within the bounds of the the USDA's National Organic Pr ogram (NOP).\n\nOn this webinar, organic products expert Gay Timmons, President of Oh, Oh Organic, Inc. will join us to share her wisdom on the topic. Gay Timmons began work as the first American woman to manag e vessel operations on the Oakland/San Francisco docks, working in int ernational traffic management and ingredient sales. Participating in t he organic industry for 20 years covering certification, lobbying, and as a consumer/activist, she has also been a producer and marketer of organic ingredients and an advocate for regulatory protection for orga nic producers and consumers since 1991. In 2000 she founded Oh, Oh Org anic, Inc., a company committed to the development and delivery of sus tainable agricultural ingredients for the cosmetic and personal care i ndustries. She served as Chair of the California Organic Products Advi sory Committee, on that committee an on the board of CCOF for eleven y ears. She was a founding member of OASIS and serves on their board. Ga y graduated from UC Davis and lives with her two daughters in Los Gato s, CA.\n\nGay's depth of experience and knowledge will be extremely va luable, so you can be assured that you are using the term, \"organic\" in an appropriate way.\n\n(For IBN members who know little about the NOP program, you should listen to our audio seminar with Kayla Fiorava nti, co-owner of Essential Wholesale, a certified organic facility. Yo u can listen to that seminar at this link. Scroll down to the audio fo r 11/25/08.
