Manager. In this newly created position, Courtney will focus on public relations for national Non-GMO Month events (October), development and support for our Product Verification Program, and consumer education with an emphasis on social media.
The organization chose Pineau from a number of strong candidates because of her passion for sustainable agriculture and background in the natural products industry, both on the vendor side (sales and marketing), and on the retail side (department manager).

A "GMO" is a genetically modified organism. The Non-GMO Project was created by leaders representing all sectors of the organic and natural products industry in the U.S. and Canada. Their goal is to offer consumers a consistent non-GMO choice for organic and natural products that are produced without genetic engineering or recombinant DNA technologies.
