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. There was some concern where the members mentioned about not being very clear on the objectives and mission of the PDGs. We will recommend to the executive board to highlight the important role played by the various PDGs to fellow members and the students.
Board Response: Missions for PDGs are listed on the IAFP Web site and should be reviewed by each PDG Chair during their meetings. More emphasis will be placed on explaining the PDG structure to Members.
2. Approve Siddhartha Thakur as the Incoming Chair and Divya Jaroni as the Vice Chair of the Pre Harvest Food Safety PDG at IAFP 2012.
Board Response: Agree
