The Crusading Advocate: A Conversation with Jason Linde of FARE

In the Tall Grass

In this episode, Jason Linde, Senior VP of Advocacy at FARE (Food Allergy Research & Education), shares FARE’s current initiatives to empower and enhance the lives of individuals living with allergies. Check out Jason’s personal story on what brought him into the world of advocacy, specifically for those living with food allergies, and learn steps you can take to help impact change because, in his own words, “the only way we can grow is to grow together.”
As FARE’s Senior Vice President, Advocacy, Jason advocates on behalf of the food allergy community in front of Congress and federal agencies like the CDC, FDA, and NIH. Jason knows the challenges food allergy families face because he was born allergic to milk and tomatoes and remembers giving away most of his Halloween candy or watching his Mother search for substitute ingredients for his meals. Jason comes to FARE with more than 25-years of advocacy experience including serving as a Chief of Staff or Senior Advisor to three members of Congress, managing successful political campaigns in every region of the country, and leading an award-winning public affairs rebranding effort at a global communications firm. In addition, Jason is an Adjunct Professor at Johns Hopkins University. Jason graduated Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Syracuse University and earned a Master’s Degree at George Washington University. He lives in Maryland with his wife and their son, Jack.
