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.

Board Response to Recommendations
Board Response to Recommendations
1. Consider establishing a Discussion Board on the IAFP web site for more information exchange, collaboration, and networking among members. A model to consider is www.chronicle.com/forum.
Board Response: Board will review this and other association forum software.
2. Provide more phone lines for Webinars.
Board Response: Price structure of the Webinar system has various caps on participation, so for large Webinars (more than 50 participants expected) a pre-registration may be requested.
