the Committee's goals including generating Roundtables
and Symposium ideas. Jaime provided information on
the mentoring program and suggestions on how CCFI

Discussion progress on manuals:
1. Procedures for Investigation of Foodborne Illness
manual.
a. There are outbreak investigation methods that
need to be updated in the manual (to include
Whole Genome Sequencing, Culture Independent Diagnostic Testing, and Improved Product
Traceability).
i. Committee members have the following
requests from the Board to assist prior to
making the decision to move forward with
updating the manuals:
1. How much of an income the manual generates for
IAFP over the past 5 years?
2. How many hard copy manuals vs. online manuals
have been sold?
3. Do we have details on who the buyers are? Local,
state, federal, industry, international partners?
4. Were promotion activities at international events
recommended at the 2018 meeting carried out?
5. Does the board support potential IT improvements
to online available resources (apps, fillable forms,
etc.), also recommended at the 2018 meeting?
6. Is there a pathway to offering any updated manuals for free since all manuals of other organizations including WHO are freely available?
b. If there is a re-write, the Committee recommends considering translation into several
languages.
