Our Meeting has become known as the place to be if your interests lie in food safety, science and protection. See page 423 for expanded information about IAFP 2001. The preliminary program gives a preview of what you can expect. Truly, something for everyone with interests in food safety. The answer is really quite simple many dedicated individuals pool their time, efforts and talents to make the Meeting flow smoothly.
Planning begins more than a year before the actual Meeting.
Two groups put forth a great amount of time and energy. They are the Local Arrangements Committee and the Program Committee. Just let me add my sincere thanks to all of the Program Committee Members for their work in developing this year s program. We rely upon the expertise of the Program Committee and Chairperson Stan Bailey to guide us in all Program related decisions. The Local Arrangements Committee begins their work about 18 months before the Annual Meeting.
