The Prize of Excellence is an award given in recognition of an outstanding contribution to the work of IDF.

"The IDF is a wonderful forum for bringing together colleagues from around the world to share our knowledge and ideas for how dairy can nourish the world, nurture our livestock, and improve the safety and quality of milk. IDF has accomplished so much of its impressive work program due to the commitment and hard work of volunteers and dedicated staff with a similar passion," Frye said. "Working with you and so many esteemed dairy colleagues from around the globe has enriched my professional understanding and furthered my awareness of the common challenges our industry faces."
