The Institute of Food Technologists was established in 1939 in partto foster and nurture sound science leadership in the food science and technology profession. Today, IFT remains dedicated to delivering and representing true sound science leadership. My role as IFT President is to serve as steward of our goals and vision, coupled with my unwavering support for IFT to continue as the bastion of scientific integrity. It is imperative to maintain the scientific credibility of IFT, granting our members the ability to guide research and to positively influence regulatory decision making based on sound scientific knowledge.
