Jeff Farber selected to deliver the Ivan Parkin Lecture
31 July 2016
ICMSF member, Dr Jeff Farber, was selected to deliver the Ivan Parkin Lecture at the Opening Session of IAFP’s 2016 Annual Meeting held from 31 July to 3 August 2016 in the United States.
The Ivan Parkin Lecture was established by the International Association for Food Protection (IAFP) in 1986 to honour individuals who have had a significant impact on the field of food safety. Each year a prominent food safety leader is selected to deliver the Ivan Parkin Lecture at the Opening Session of IAFP’s Annual Meeting.
The Association established the Lecture to honour Ivan Parkin, a Dairy Extension Specialist at Pennsylvania State University. Dr Parkin was the Association President in 1955 and he remained active in the Association for many years following his Presidency. Dr Parkin served as an example to others as a loyal member, a professional, and an educator dedicated to protecting the food supply.
The Ivan Parkin Lecturer is selected by the IAFP President-Elect and approved by the Executive Board.
