U.S – Lisa R. Robinson has been chosen as the newest board member of Stop Foodborne Illness (STOP), a national nonprofit organization that promotes the adoption of effective food safety regulations and a shift in industry culture.

She graduated from Michigan State University with a Bachelor’s in Food Science and a Master’s in Food Safety.
