[ΦTΣ] FW: Your help is needed to advance the food science profession

[Lee, Ken]

Happy Thanksgiving:
Two fellow Phi Tau Sigma members need our help. Distinguished Professor and Rutgers Chair Don Schaffner appears on national news explaining the science of food safety. ΦTΣ is inspired by Insights from a 40-year food science proponent and former marine Bruce Ferree. These remarkable colleagues bring honor and recognition to our profession with integrity.

IFT announced their 2025 Board candidates<https://www.ift.org/about-ift/leadership/nominations-and-elections> without a vote by members. Bruce Ferree<https://www.qualityassurancemag.com/article/bruce-ferree-food-scientist-and-industry-consultant/> and Don Schaffner<https://foodsci.rutgers.edu/faculty/schaffner/> applied to the IFT Board but were not interviewed. If you are a professional IFT member, you can help by signing the attached petitions. Voting rights in IFT are now restricted so at least 305 professional member signatures are required.

Your reply is sent directly to paulius.valaisa at claconnect.com<mailto:paulius.valaisa at claconnect.com> with attachments no later than December 16. Here are serpentine instructions<https://www.ift.org/about-ift/leadership/petition-process-and-guidelines> from IFT. You can see who IFT picked<https://www.ift.org/about-ift/leadership/nominations-and-elections> for the Board here. Thank you for your kind support for two outstanding Phi Tau Sigma members who elevate awareness of our discipline. Happy National Cake Day!<https://www.nationaldaycalendar.com/national-day/national-cake-day-november-26>
