J.P. Borneman named chairman of CHPA’s political action committee

WASHINGTON The Consumer Healthcare Products Association’s political action committee recently named J.P. Borneman, chairman and chief executive officer of Hyland’s, as chairman of the CHPA-PAC.

Since becoming a member of CHPA, Borneman has been a leading supporter of the CHPA-PAC. As chair, he will serve as CHPA-PAC’s liaison to the association’s board of directors on all political action committee matters.

The CHPA-PAC is the nonpartisan political action committee funded by voluntary individual contributions. CHPA-PAC supports congressional candidates who will advance quality healthcare.

There has been an unprecedented level of congressional attention to issues affecting the OTC industry of late, including the import-safety legislation, merchandising restrictions on products containing pseudoephedrine or dextromethorphan and the debate over whether or not cough/cold medicines ought to be marketed for use in children under the age of six.
