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.

Special Committees provide support services to IAFP on a continuous basis. Individuals are recommended by the Chairperson, subject to the Executive Board's review. Membership appointments are for 2-year renewable terms. Requests for membership should be directed to the Chairperson.

Staff Present: Lisa Hovey and Leilani McDonald.

Meeting Called to Order: 1:10 p.m.

Recording Secretary of Minutes: Judy Harrison.

Old Business: Minutes from the previous meeting were reviewed. During the year, an announcement was sent out on the IFT listserv to ask people to let us know about materials to include in the IAFP Audiovisual Library. No responses were obtained. Only three new acquisitions were added this year. The budget was increased by $500 last year. This money was added to the postage and shipping category. Lani will check to see if Nancy was able to archive resources that had not been requested for three years before she left in October.

New Business: The committee would like to find out if the DVD format is more popular than videos. We requested that a column be added to the Usage Report for next year that shows the format of the resource (video, DVD, etc.) Lisa Hovey mentioned that the videos hold up much better than DVDs. She also mentioned that some people still join IAFP because of the AV Library. The IAFP staff will look into developing a short survey that can be sent by email to people who have used the library in the past but are not currently using it to see why they have stopped. The survey could be sent to others to determine how the library could be more useful to members. The committee requested that next year’s budget page show us actual expenditures for the year, as well as the budget for the coming year. Lani will e-mail this information to the committee for the 2006-2007 budget year. Four resources were reviewed this year. Although a negative comment was noted, the committee examined the number of times the resource was requested and decided to leave it in the library unless additional negative comments were received. There was a suggestion that the IAFP staff look into a way to make Powerpoint presentations that members are willing to share for training purposes available via the

Web.

Recommendations to Executive Board: None.

Next Meeting Date: August 3, 2008.

Chairperson: Judy A. Harrison.
