Cohort X Completes Week 3

Cohort X Fellows had the chance to be together again in-person during Week 3 of Fellowship in Food Protection, held the first week of April in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The week culminated with Fellows taking on executive leadership roles in a developing integrated food safety system, practicing skills in policy development, public speaking, media relations, stakeholder relations, and political awareness. A team of subject matter experts from government, private sector, and non-profits provided valuable feedback to our cohort of emerging leaders. The capstone for Cohort X takes place in June when they deliver their research via presentations and poster sessions at the AFDO Annual Educational Conference in Phoenix. Keep your eyes on this talented group of food safety professionals!
