Outstanding Section and Division Volunteers Recognized
by Kelly Frederick
By the member and for the members, this is much of what IFT is about. As with most nonprofit societies, IFT relies on its members working in food science, food technology, and related professions in industry, academia, and government to volunteer their time, experience, and knowledge. Thanks to all for their contributions.
This year, IFT recognizes the following individuals who have gone “above and beyond” in either their Section or Division. Each individual has received an “Outstanding Section/Division” pin. Please congratulate the winners, and if time permits in your busy schedule, plan to get more involved this coming year.
IFT Sections are the local regional chapters of IFT. Participation in a Section provides up-to-date scientific information, along with an excellent opportunity to network and help your profession. Each Section charges nominal dues and holds meetings. In all cases, except the four non-U.S. Sections, Sections are determined by the zip code of the mailing address of the IFT member. In addition to their “home” Section, members may join as many Sections as they wish by contacting IFT.
IFT Divisions are organizations formed through interest in a specific area of food science and technology. Joining IFT Divisions provides you with rewarding opportunities to network with other food scientists with similar professional interests. To join a Division, you must first be an IFT member.
To join a Section or Division, please visit the Community link on the IFT Web site, or call 312-782-8424.
