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. Explored/discussed the possibility of a simple web based app or list that could be published via Web site. Any (simple!) option that would provide the ability to see other PDG symposia submissions, and enable ways to further expand cooperative efforts between PDGs.
Board Response: A list of submitted symposium proposals will be distributed to PDG Chairs and Vice Chairs. In addition, a teleconference will be scheduled to review all proposals with PDG Chairs.
2. Focus on the list as it exists after the first round of cuts. PDGs and others submitting could provide information where they would be interested and agreeable to working with other PDGs or where they would like added support on a topic submitted.
Board Response: The Program Committee will review all proposals and determine those to accept for further development.
