    PrintWhat Regulatory Associations does FDA partner with?

The Office of Partnerships (OP) fosters partnerships with several State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial public health associations to achieve an Integrated Food Safety System. Eleven major state and local public health and regulatory professional associations comprise the Council of Association Presidents (CAP), whose outreach capacity extends to virtually all state and local public health officials. The leadership of each association participates in CAP meetings to keep the public health regulatory community informed of one another’s activities, and to coordinate with Federal partners in public health. Below are links to CAP associations:

Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO)
	Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO)
	Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL)
	Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO)
	Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE)
	National Association of City and County Health Officials (NACCHO)
	National Association of Local Boards of Health (NALBOH)
	National Assembly of State Animal Health Officials (NASAHO)
	National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA)
	National Environmental Health Association (NEHA)
	U.S. Animal Health Association (USAHA)
