SECRETARY I has been employed in Aveda Research and Development for six years and I hold both a Biology and a Chemistry degree from Augsburg College in Minneapolis. I was hired at Aveda to work in hair and skin care formulation but moved into the Color Cosmetic domain and finally into the Aroma laboratory. I coordinate aroma formula development and oversee ingredient approval processes. I have experience in certified organic standards and sourcing of innovative new raw materials for Aveda products. One of my main responsibilities has been to mentor suppliers and develop partnerships through the approval process for new ingredients. I have worked on developing a traceability model and I am actively working on sustainability protocols. I am highly committed to the environmental mission at Aveda through the selection of raw materials and partnerships with suppliers. I also frequently give presentations to promote the interest of girls in science. Contact Information: Shannon Hess KENNETH SAHR MOMOH - TREASURER
