Dave Heineman’s Policy Research Office; Richard Raymond, M.D., USDA Under Secretary for Food Safety for the Food Safety and Inspection Service; Duane Acklie, chairman of Crete Carrier Corporation; Joann Schaefer, M.D., Nebraska’s chief medical officer; Joel Johnson, M.D., Nebraska State Senator and UNMC alum; and Tom Rosenquist, Ph.D., UNMC’s Vice Chancellor for Research.
