FOCUS SECTIONS

The OANP Newsletter Editor may choose to have several "Focus sections,” including "Focus on Member,” "Focus on Sponsor,” and "Focus on Research.” The Board has adopted the following policies for these focus sections:

• "Focus on Research” – any person or business may submit research to be published in the newsletter. Research must be based on accepted scientific standards, and must have the tagline of "Article brought to you by…” with a disclosure that OANP does not endorse any material in the article. The research must be on a product as a category, not just a particular company’s product (i.e., research on the benefits of fish oil, not just research on Nordic Natural’s fish oil product). It must be generally education, not product-specific.
  
  
• "Focus on Member” – to highlight the good deeds of our members, but not just to promote a new clinic or new address, etc. For example, we could feature a member who recently published a book, won an award, or launched a non-profit venture.
  
  
• "Focus on Sponsor” – available to sponsors as outlined in the Community Supporter materials, this is an opportunity for sponsors to share something different or unique about their company, but not an opportunity to market a particular product.
