How to Join
Involvement in committees and professional development
groups (PDGs) offers Members the opportunity to share a wealth of knowledge and
expertise. Members of committees and PDGs are the architects of the Association
structure. They plan, develop and institute many of the Association's projects,
including workshops, publications and educational sessions. Technical challenges
facing the food safety industry are discussed, examined and debated. Members may
volunteer to serve on any number of committees or PDGs that plan and implement
activities to meet the Association's mission.
Membership on a PDG is voluntary (not by
appointment) and may vary from year to year. Requests for membership on a PDG
should be directed to the chairperson.

Visitors Present: Janet Beauvais, Jeff Keithline and Suely Nakashima.
Board and Staff Present: Jeff Farber and Didi Loynachan.
Meeting Called to Order: 1:10 p.m.
Recording Secretary of Minutes: Anna Lammerding.
Old Business: Review of the PDG’s symposium (Wed., July 11, 8:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.): “Preparing Scientists for the Legal Aspects …” This promises to be an innovative and different type of symposium for IAFP, including a mock trial. Organizers and Convenors LeAnn Chuboff and Donna Garren are commended for their efforts in pulling it all together. Discussion held on last year’s intention on setting up a networking bulletin board.
New Business: Three activities for the PDG were proposed, discussed and developed: An educational workshop on food law, to target particularly younger members, and those who haven’t yet learned through the school of ‘hard knocks’ the fundamentals of relevant food laws in the US, and also broaden exposure to the same in
the countries around the world. Possible collaborations on development and delivery of such a workshop with external organizations will be explored. A symposium/ roundtable on comparative laws (adulteration) is proposed for 2008, with speakers from 4 to 6 regions of the world. Finally a white paper is proposed, intended to spell out the differences between laws, regulations, and policies.
Recommendations to Executive Board:
1. That the IAFP staff establish E-mail subdirectories containing members of specific PDGs that can be accessed by members to connect with their PDG during the year.
Next Meeting Date: August 3, 2008.
Meeting Adjourned: 3:10 p.m.
Chairperson: Anna Lammerding
Board
Response to Recommendations
1. That the IAFP staff establish e-mail subdirectories containing members of specific PDGs that can be accessed by members to connect with their PDG during the year.
Board response: Agree. This is done twice a year, both prior to Annual Meeting and following Annual Meeting. Contact the IAFP office at any time for an updated list.
