In reply to an FOI inquiry in January 2009 regarding her membership of the AEF, the University of Hertfordshire replied stating that,
" (Dr Nash was) invited to join the network by AEF. (In 2004) The University was not involved in this decision – the membership is personal...There are no formal “terms of membership”. The forum provides a means by which academic researchers in areas related to advertising and children, food advertising and obesity, and advertising self-regulation are able to access a database of publications in this area. (Dr Nash has ) been contacted 3 – 4 times over the course of (her) association with AEF, but at irregular intervals." [3]
