The American Feed Industry Association (AFIA) is now accepting nominations through Sept. 1 for its annual Friend of Pet Food Award, to be recognised at the upcoming AFIA Pet Food Conference on Jan. 25, 2022. Launched in 2019, the award recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to support the growth of the petfood industry.
“As the science around animal nutrition evolves, we depend on talented individuals to help us research and think bigger about how we can deliver safe, innovative products to keep our pets fed sustainably into the future,” says Louise Calderwood, AFIA’s director of regulatory affairs. “The AFIA Friend of Pet Food Award is a great opportunity to nominate someone within your company who is going the extra mile for the betterment of pet nutrition and the industry.”
An ideal nominee will be currently employed and active in the petfood industry or an associated area, such as new product development, transportation, regulatory, academia, media or promotion. There is no restriction by company or industry affiliation, or the function performed by the nominee.
The award winner will be invited to attend the 2022 AFIA Pet Food Conference which is being held in conjunction with the International Production & Processing Expo in Atlanta, Ga., on Jan. 25-27, where they will be publicly recognized with a plaque.
