To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to recommend Amy Brown for a position on the AOAC International
Official Methods Board (OMB). She would make an outstanding addition to the AOACI
Board.
I have known Amy for over ten years, and having myself served on the OMB for several
years and a nine year member of the AOACI Board of Directors, know that she has the
qualifications that are needed to serve on the OMB.
Amy is a five year member of AOAC INTERNATIONA and serves on their Official
Methods of Analysis Expert Review Panel for Pesticide Residues. Her Expert Review
Panel also won “Expert Review Panel of the Year” for 2014-2015.
She is a past President of the Southern Section of AOAC INTERNATIONAL and has
been active in the section for over nine years. She received the Anant Jain Founders
award in 2015 for her dedication to the Section. In 2016 Amy received the Doug Hite
Honorarium from the Southern Section for her leadership role in the Section and her
work with AOAC International.
Amy has excellent analytical skills that have allowed her to master complex technical
procedures and has exhibited this by her technical presentations at professional meetings.
She works easily on both team focused projects and on an individual basis. She is
energetic, hardworking and has a great personality which has served her well with team
oriented goals. Amy is also very flexible and eager to take on new challenges.
I am convinced Amy will be as valuable an asset to the OMB as she has been to the
Expert Review Panel and to the Southern Section of AOAC International.
Sincerely,
Doug Hite
