The American Feed Industry Association depends heavily on the dedication and involvement of members who volunteer annually to serve on committees that further the success of the association’s mission, objectives and programs. AFIA thanks these volunteer members and the companies they represent for their service.

Most of the committee terms run from May 1-April 30 each year and volunteers serve a term of three years. Each of AFIA’s 14 committees represent the interests of specific disciplines and segments throughout the feed industry and work together on supporting activities and programs critical to AFIA’s legislative and regulatory efforts and various member services.

“Each and every committee member helps advance AFIA’s mission,” said AFIA President and CEO Joel G. Newman. “Representing the feed industry with one, unified voice takes a team effort and we appreciate the commitment of time and resources by all who have served on AFIA committees.”
