of North America. The valued financial contributions from our supporters allow IAFP to keep with an economical registration rate for our Members. Speaking of Members, I have mentioned it prior in this column, but you can trace our international involvement directly back to our Membership growth. As we build up to each event, you can see evidence of new Members joining from the specific region where our next meeting will be held. As we move towards our next scheduled event in Lisbon, keep an eye on our new Member list that runs each month in Food Protection Trends. I believe you will notice a number of new Members from Europe. As Stan pointed out in his President’s Column, now is a great time for you (each current IAFP Member) to reach out to a colleague and invite them to join IAFP. Help us to promote IAFP’s ver y reasonable $50 Membership fee and ask a colleague to join today! This rate is good all around the world!!! It just cannot be more economical for someone to join IAFP than our $50 fee. Before I end for this month, there are two points I need to touch on. First is to recognize the Dubai Municipality for sending three people to attend IAFP 2008 in Columbus. We took the opportunity to meet with the DIFSC leadership and firmed up our commitment to be involved with the 2009 DIFSC in Dubai. The second point is that I want to recognize that we gained three new international Affiliates this past year. The first Affiliate to be Chartered was the Turkey Food Safety Association; then at Annual Meeting we announced the Chartering of the Spain Association for Food Protection and the United Arab Emirates Association for Food Protection. Each of these groups saw the value in becoming associated and affiliated with IAFP. There are many Affiliat e o r g a n i z a t i o n s b o t h internationally and within North America where you can become active (or just attend e d u c a t i o n a l s e s s i o n s ) . T h ey all ser ve a great purpose in promoting safe food practices in their more localized region, whether a state in the USA, a province in Canada or a country around the world. We encourage your involvement in an Affiliate organization close to your home. Let us know if you need help finding a group in your area.
