Dear Future Member of IDFA,
I am writing to ask you to consider joining IDFA. Let me explain why: Over the last eight years, we have built a new IDFA that represents and engages all segments of the U.S. dairy industry.
We are elevating and unifying all voices, and we are consistently providing value to our members through legislative and regulatory advocacy, strategic communications, training and education, professional development, and networking. Your investment in IDFA is an investment in the collective growth and success of our industry, and in the growth and success of your organization.
Please take just a few minutes to watch the videos below and explore what an IDFA membership can do for your dairy business.
Sincerely,
Michael Dykes, D.V.M.
President & CEO
IDFA plays a critical role in our advocacy strategy at General Mills, advocating for the benefits of dairy from a nutrition perspective and also on key food safety and regulatory topics.

One of the biggest benefits, ultimately, is that you become part of a bigger dairy family where you can network with all of the other organizations ... and that in and of itself becomes a huge learning opportunity that you can never tap in to anywhere else.
Cary Grover
President and CEO
Lakeview Dairy Products, LLC
I've worked with IDFA over the last 20 years, and I think they really continue to drive value for our customers. I think they are also helping our industry work together with one voice in moving the dairy industry forward.

IDFA brings our industry together. For a little dairy like mine - almost a century old - to have IDFA help us prioritize and work together on common issues helps us get ahead and provide support where we need it.
Miriam Erickson Brown
CEO & Chair
Anderson Erickson Dairy Company
IDFA represents the entire supply chain — not all associations do that. And the leadership at IDFA, the staff of IDFA... knowledgeable and great people, results-oriented. In IDFA we have an association that can take us to the next level.

President and CEO
Schrieber Foods, Inc.
By deploying a mix of government relations, regulatory expertise, strategic communications, and grassroots and coalition-led engagements, IDFA advocates on behalf of the dairy industry on the most important policy, regulatory and business issues of the time. In addition, IDFA continues to offer its members access to state and federal regulators, policymakers, and decision-makers at the highest level on the issues most relevant to their businesses and the dairy industry.
IDFA delivers the data, insights, research, analysis, and personalized support that help the dairy industry and professionals operate more efficiently and effectively, giving them the tools and resources they need to grow their businesses. Our sole focus at IDFA is to deliver value for our members by supporting their immediate needs and positioning them to lead on the emerging and strategic issues of tomorrow.
IDFA's team of subject matter experts provide individualized support for members navigating the complex regulations, policies, trends, communications and public relations that are dictating success in today's dairy industry.
With IDFA, your voice and your needs will be heard, respected, and advocated for. We have spent the last five years building a new IDFA that represents and engages all segments of the dairy industry, including a new governance structure that elevates all voices within the dairy industry.
There is no other trade association in dairy where dairy processing members can join with industry analysts, risk management professionals and financial service providers, animal care experts, world-class business consultants, and leaders in people and talent management. IDFA’s Gold Business Partners are, indeed, partners for our industry’s evolution and innovation.
