Dr. Frobose will get answers on what they would accept or not as Proposition-12 compliant. This is a “We are getting answers for you” kind of conference. HOSTED BY DR. HYATT FROBOSE Part 1: Conference by representatives of certification companies Part 2: Panelist discussion with Dr. Dirk Hesse, Rick Thomas and Dave Wade
