In December, MilkPEP CEO Julia Kadison spoke with Dairy Foodseditor Jim Carper about the challenge to milk from nondairy beverages and her group’s efforts to make milk relevant in U.S. households. The Milk Processor Education Program, Washington, D.C., is funded by the nation’s milk processors.
Kadison was promoted to CEO from vice president of marketing in August 2014. She served as interim CEO following the departure of Vivian Godfrey in November 2013. Since joining MilkPEP in 2006, Kadison spearheaded several marketing campaigns, including Milk Life, which spotlights milk’s high-quality protein and the Great American Milk Drive, which raises awareness of the need for milk donations to food banks across the United States.
