CRN announces new membership dues plan for 2022
CRN’s membership dues are getting a makeover for 2022. As noted in coverage from Vitamin Retailer, the new dues plan addresses continued industry consolidation and provides an equitable rate structure, enabling CRN to continue to tackle the broad range of issues critical to the future of the industry.
What it means: Annual dues will decrease for many companies, making CRN membership available to companies of all sizes. “The evolution in our dues structure ensures CRN can continue to provide our members with the industry leadership, government engagement, and experienced counsel they rely on,” said CRN President & CEO Steve Mister.
What they’re saying: “This change opens the playing field to more companies,” said CRN Chairman Barry Ritz, Ph.D., vice president of science, regulatory, and innovation at Nestlé Health Science. “Midsize companies that previously perceived us as ‘too expensive’ now have the opportunity to secure a seat at the CRN table.”
