About Us

Mission
The Coordinating Council is an educational organization that focuses on finding alternative solutions for urgent global issues.

Our mission is to support and promote environmental sustainability and human health through research and education.

Background
The founders of The Coordinating Council, Craig Winters, Alexander Schauss, Ph.D., and Marlene Beadle, have many years of experience in successful grassroots organizing, lobbying, and working to pass state and federal legislation.

In 1992, these three individuals teamed up to start Citizens For Health serving as the non-profit organization's founding Executive Director (Schauss), President (Winters), and Treasurer (Beadle).

Under that management team, Citizens For Health was instrumental in the successful passage of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA).

In 1999, the team founded The Campaign to Label Genetically Engineered Foods.

Craig Winters is the Executive Director of The Coordinating Council, Alexander Schauss, Ph.D., is President, and Marlene Beadle is Treasurer. The three form the organization's Board of Directors.
