The webcast will focus on what managers should know about FDA inspections. For instance, did you know FDA does not have the authority to stop mill operations? The program will feature AFIA Vice President Richard Sellers and Director of Manufacturing and Education Keith Epperson and an attorney from AFIA's legal counsel office, Mr. Arthur Tsien, who developed AFIA's approach to inspections and formerly worked for FDA's Office of Chief Counsel.
