Message From The Chair
Pamela Vaillancourt
February Message
Hello CSIFT Members!
How long have you been an IFT member? Days? Months? Years? Decades? IFT is an opportunity.
From my college days it was taught that as a Food Scientist, being part of IFT would be important for career placement, honing leadership skills, attending educational/technical sessions and symposia, for networking, and so much more. For those of us who have spent any time at all as an IFT member....if we could only share a paragraph or two on how IFT has made a difference in our lives, you'd be reading a large, heavy, novel!
There are many ways to be involved. Some members begin as student members in college. Others learn of IFT once in the workforce and end up making a decision to join as a Regional Associate (such as being a CSIFT member) to join as an IFT member, or, they join as a Regional Associate and an IFT member. Each type of membership has varying benefits that you need to realize are important to you and your career. Whether you are new to IFT, beginning to be actively involved, or a long time member that is thinking about serving on a committee or running for an office, take the time to volunteer. CSIFT opens doors locally; IFT opens doors to the world.....READ MORE... |
