Syracuse, NY September 20, 2017 President James Baldwin preparing to give the “Presidential Address” Good morning. On behalf of the Executive Board, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all of you to the 94th Annual Conference of the New York State Association of Food Protection. I would like to once again welcome our Federal regulatory partners who are here attending the 2017 Northeast Food and Drug Administration Regional Milk Seminar in conjunction with the annual conference. Please join me in welcoming any new members and first time attendees with us today (show of hands). Finally, I would like to welcome and recognize all the past presidents of the New York State Association for Food Protection who are in attendance. These individuals each played an integral role in forming and molding the Association into what it is today (would you please stand). I thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this year’s conference. Each year the New York State Association for Food Protection Annual Conference provides an exceptional platform that unites industry, regulatory, and academia in a setting that promotes education and Cont’d on Page 5 4 Presidential Address Cont’d networking opportunities that extend far beyond the conference. I hope everyone is able to exploit both opportunities over the next two days, as we can learn a great deal from one another. Thank you to all committee chairs and members who have worked very hard and have done an exceptional job selecting topics for this year’s educational conference that I’m sure you will find both relevant and educational. As I have previously eluded to in my newsletter articles over the last year, we have entered “a new and exciting era in food protection, a critical time defined by change for the Food Industry, regulatory, and the Association for Food Protection.” As an agent of change, the Association must and will continue to serve as a resource for the Food Industry, regulatory, academia and all other areas of the food continuum. It is the Executive Board’s responsibility to position the Association to face these challenges head-on. As I stated back in November, “We, the Executive Board, will commit to challenging the status quo, by thinking differently and embracing change.” I am proud to report that over the last 11 months, your Executive Board has worked very hard at setting a strong foundation based on a vision for the future as we begin to embrace ways to include other areas that make up the critical food infrastructure across the State of New York, such as producers of fresh fruits and vegetables, convenience store and restaurant operators, and many, many more. It is through a broadly diverse and inclusive membership that this Association will continue to remain viable, relevant, and strong for many future generations. Thank you all for
