What members are saying:
“Smart and strategic. Fast and forwardthinking. Effective and energized. This is how I would describe the RFA. It is a member-centered organization that is deeply involved in analyzing and communicating the technical issues that drive the continued health and growth of our industry. It is constantly evolving to ensure sound science, not sound bites, support public policy and market."
Chris Standlee, Executive Vice President, Abengoa Bioenergy Corp. and RFA Chairman
“From a farmer-owned producer member perspective, we find RFA to be an extremely valuable asset. We are front and center, actively participating in policy development, advocacy, and implementation. Thanks to RFA we are active in Washington, D.C. and networked with industry peers across the country.”
Chuck Woodside, General Manager, KAAPA Ethanol, LLC.
“As a cellulosic ethanol producer, I can tell you we have found a home in RFA. The technical expertise, the powerful advocacy, and a passionate team that understands what we do, how we work, and what we need in federal policy to support innovation in technology.”
John Howe, Vice President, Public Affairs, Verenium Corp.
“As a member for more than 25 years, I can testify that there is no more effective advocate for the ethanol industry than RFA. It has a track record of success and a solid reputation for smart, accurate research and analysis. RFA’s legislative and regulatory accomplishments are the cornerstone of this industry — past, present, and future.”
