As a federal advisory committee, the Council aims to promote healthy, accessible eating and physical activity for all Americans, regardless of background or ability. The esteemed Council will also focus on expanding national awareness of the importance of mental health as it pertains to physical fitness and nutrition.
“I’m honored to be selected by President Biden to serve on the Council,” said Shaheen. “We are at an inflection point in this country with staggering rates of diet-related disease and I’m encouraged by the growing recognition that food and nutrition solutions can have a substantial impact on health. I’m excited to collaborate with such a dynamic and accomplished group to promote the importance of nutrition, food, and exercise on health.”
“The Good Measures team is inspired by Stefany’s appointment to the President’s Council,” said Donna K. Lencki, Chief Executive Officer of Good Measures. “She brings valuable experience, energy, and a passion for dismantling barriers and bridging gaps to help all people realize the benefits of nutrition and exercise.”
In addition to co-founding Good Measures, Shaheen is the New York Times bestselling author of “Elle & Coach: Diabetes, the Fight for My Daughter's Life, and the Dog Who Changed Everything.” Shaheen also serves on the Board of Trustees for Joslin Diabetes Center, Boston, the world’s preeminent diabetes research, clinical care, and education organization.
