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.

Call for 2008 Symposia topics:
1. Overview of international controls for campy intervention: on farm, off farm, consumer – what is being done now and what is working. Lead: Roger Cook, NZ Beef and Lamb (need to confirm lead – could be John Marcie, Univ. of Arkansas).
2. Imports: How to conduct appropriate analysis and risk reporting – examination of traceability, gap analysis, – could work well as a roundtable. Lead: Wafa Birbari. Support: Trish Wester.
3. Is It Overdone? A symposium on theoretical risks associated with formation of potentially carcinogenic compounds in meat and their relationship to food safety – a look at HCAs, nitrite and interpreting epi risk. Leads: Randy Huffman and Lisa Mina.
4. Salmonella : From Farm to Fork – what works from transport – slaughter – consumer. Lead: Jeff Kornacki. Support: Harshavardhan Thippareddi. Overall a symposium should be unique, innovative and demonstrate applicability.
Other Business:
1. Proposal that meetings have more “value add” to members.
2. Next year there should be a brainstorm session on symposia ideas 1 month prior to the Annual Meeting. At the meeting, the ideas should be more flushed out and in-depth.
