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.
