Denise Hauge is currently Director at the Grains for Health Foundation. The mission of the Grains for Health Foundation is to forge partnerships with food and health leaders to develop evidence-based strategies that facilitate the development, delivery, and consumption of grain-based foods that promote public health, lower the incidence of diet-related, chronic disease, and curb health care costs. Denise completed her M.S. Nutrition at the University of Minnesota in 2010 with a focus on interdisciplinary, cross-sector engagement in the field of nutrition and grain science. She also learned skills in non-profit management, collaborative leadership, and communication during her time as a fellow in the Buckman Fellowship for Leadership and Philanthropy during her graduate studies.
