Did your team make significant contributions to food safety, or do you know someone who has? Help your colleagues and your companies get the recognition they deserve by submitting a nomination for IDFA’s inaugural Food Safety Leadership Award by August 31.

The IDFA Food Safety Leadership Award will honor an individual, group or organization for demonstrating outstanding leadership directed at enhancing food safety within the dairy products industry. One recipient will receive free registration, airfare and hotel accommodations to attend Dairy Forum 2017, Jan. 29-Feb.1, in Orlando, where he or she will accept the award during the Celebrating Excellence Luncheon.

“The dairy industry has a longstanding reputation of providing healthy, wholesome and safe dairy products, year after year,” said John Allan, IDFA vice president of regulatory affairs and international standards. “Your nominations will help us celebrate and highlight the contributions of those who have helped this tradition continue.”

Criteria for nominations are available online at IDFA Food Safety Leadership Award. All nominations should be sent to Allan at jallan@idfa.org by August 31, 2016.
