ADPI is committed to becoming the world’s premier authority on dairy ingredients. As such, we are pleased to introduce a network of seasoned dairy industry professionals capable of addressing a wide range of topics.
The ADPI Center of Excellence (COE) is key resource to ADPI Membership and its participating subject matter experts (SMEs) provide an easy and economical way for members to gain access to a pool of dairy industry experts with competencies in the diverse areas.
COE resource professionals are ready and willing to address ADPI member questions or concerns. Simply identify the person that has the expertise that you require, and make contact with that resource professional by phone or email. Please identify yourself as an ADPI member, there will be no cost for this initial consultation. A member may then choose to further engage/employ the ADPI non-staff consultant directly if more extensive assistance is required and the consultant is agreeable. ADPI staff members of the COE are not available for external consulting work beyond their scope within ADPI.

ADPI contracts with its COE resources on an annual basis and renews or terminates the agreements each year based on member need, engagement with members, and the COE member availability. Scope of work is agreed in advance, and ADPI requires a NDA to be executed as part of the relationship. COE members have their professional “bios” listed and available to ADPI members via the ADPI website so that members can review and understand their qualifications as “subject matter experts” in their respective fields.
ADPI does not market or represent that COE members, are “full time employees” of ADPI, with exception of the few ADPI Staff that are and are clearly identified as such. ADPI proactively communicates the COE members credentials and qualifications.
