568 Food Protection Trends November/December
Questions posed to the group to begin brainstorming
for 2024 annual meeting workshops, webinars,
symposia, roundtables or posters. Members requested
to see current list of ideas that have not been accepted.
Brought up last year's list of ideas and the group
began brainstorming on new ideas. The ideas will be
added to the current list and posted on the IAFP Connect
PDG page.
Dimitri confirmed the group is in support of moving
forward to elect a secretary position to help maintain
and organize the meetings and PDG support materials.
Several self-nominations were received. A question on
whether a student member could serve. The answer
was the secretary position did not need to lead directly
to a vice-chair position, so if a student is elected as
secretary then that would likely be the only change.
The final presentation was given to close the session
by Rick Stokes involving Hygienic Zoning best practices
and assessment. The next meeting for the PDG
was announced to be Thursday, September 21, 2023.
Recommendations to the Executive Board:
1. Recommend to approve the appointment of
Jason White to the position of Vice-Chair.
Next Meeting Date: July 14, 2024, Long Beach,
California.
Meeting Adjourned: 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
