The 3-A Sanitary Standards, Inc. (3-A SSI) headquarters is moving to a new location in Washington, DC. This move, effective Monday, August 25, 2025, will better serve our mission and the 3-A SSI community. It marks an era of increased growth and collaboration.
"We are thrilled about this strategic move to Washington, DC,” says Meri Beth Wojtaszek, 3-A SSI Executive Director. “It represents a significant step toward fulfilling our mission and expanding our reach within the food industry. This new location will not only foster stronger partnerships but also position 3-A SSI for future growth and innovation."
Adjacent to the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) offices, the new location will deepen our connection to the dairy industry and facilitate closer collaboration with dairy industry leaders.
The move also creates new opportunities to engage with groups representing the broader food industry, many of which are based in Washington, DC.
Moreover, the new location will provide greater operational efficiency and better align our physical space with the needs of our team.
We expect the move to be seamless, with no office closures or major disruptions.
