Date: July 8, 2008
Time: 12 noon to 2 pm
Donna Maria Coles Johnson is the founder and president of the
Indie Beauty Network, which provides services to help businesses be successful in the soap, cosmetics, aromatherapy, fragrance and candle industries. Donna Maria is a popular speaker at business and women's conferences, and has been featured in Global Cosmetics Industry magazine, Entrepreneur Magazine, Ebony Magazine and others for her entrepreneurial acumen. Donna Maria is spearheading IBN's efforts to fight enactment of the
Food & Drug Administration Globalization Act of 2008.
If enacted in its present form, the
Food & Drug Administration Globalization Act of 2008 would levy high fees and impose extremely burdensome paperwork obligations on small cosmetics manufacturers and the companies that supply ingredients and supplies to them. Fees would range from $2,000 to $12,000 annually, regardless of the size of your business. Paperwork requirements would include filing an update with the federal government every time you launched a new product or changed an ingredient in an existing one. Companies would also be required to comply with every provision of the Good Manufacturing Practices, without regard for company size or production capacity. If you oppose this Act, please sign the Petition at
Donna Maria's Blog.
In our discussion at the
Wholesale Supplies Plus Forum, Donna Maria will be answering your questions about the Act in its current draft form, the many ways it could adversely affect how you do business, and thus how you support your family, and what you can do to keep it from becoming the law of the land.
We look forward to you joining us at the
WSP Forum on July 8th (12 noon to 2pm) for this important topic!
