Food Protection Trends - April 2009 - (Page 203) for four years. Attendance has expanded to now include attendees from around the globe. I met people from around the Gulf Region, all across Europe, Asia, Australia, North and South America, and Africa. Some attendees shared with me that they were not supported by their employer to attend this conference, but they had felt so strong about learning from food safety colleagues that they paid their own way to attend DIFSC. Can you believe it? This is true commitment from the attendee and should be embarrassing to the employer! Employers, if you have employees who want to learn, interact with other food safety professionals and establis h t h e i r o w n n e t w o r k o f food safety professionals, you should be fully supportive of this effort! All professionals, including food safety professionals, need to learn more about the area in which they work. Face-to-face conferences allow this to happen! Watch the May issue of Food Protection Trends for pictures from DIFSC. To conclude for this month, we encourage you to participate in IAFP’s conferences wherever they take place around the world. You can learn from others and establish your own network of food safety professionals. We hope to see you soon.
