ID Access: In this first year of your duties as president of IFDA, can you share your perspective on the work of the organization?
Mark Allen: I look at IFDA in three ways.
One is IFDA’s work in helping to strengthen trading relationships through meetings such as the Partners Executive Forum; our relationship with International Food Manufacturers Association and in holding the joint Presidents Conference; and our Sales and Marketing Conference.
We continue to strengthen programs and to look for new ways to bring value to that partnership and help strengthen those relationships.
“We realize that strong trading relationships are the backbone of the industry.� |
