      <image:title>2016 Silver Conf Sponsors - CareeersinFood.com</image:title>
      <image:caption>CareersInFood.com was founded by two executive recruiters with over 50 years of combined experience in the recruiting industry. The website grew from an increased frustration with the big generalists job boards. Tired of spending hours searching through hundreds, if not thousands of unqualified or non-industry resumes, they saw the need for an industry-specific employment site. Instead of searching databases using unreliable key words, they wanted to search by specific criteria. When CareersInFood.com was first designed several years ago, this type of specific criteria search was not available on the most popular job boards. The only way to get what they wanted was to design it, so in late 1999 they decided to venture into uncharted waters and do just that. Ten years later, CareersInFood.com is the #1 Employment Site for the Food and Beverage Manufacturing Industry. We offer the most current technology, such as advanced search features, automated search agents delivered to your email inbox, a message board, and much, much more. We are proud to be your source for finding the perfect job or candidate.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2023 Agenda - Dr. Barbara Chamberlin</image:title>
      <image:caption>Barbara Chamberlin’s office is a bit different from those at other universities: she has lego flowers and a sword of Gryffindor and toys and a lite brite. It’s clear that she is an advocate for play, which makes sense given the work she and her shop do in the Innovative Media Research and Extension department at New Mexico State University. The Department and her Learning Games Lab create educational tools for a wide variety of content and audiences. For example, they are working on virtual reality programs for a national park, have completed child development apps for toddlers, games on financial literacy and math, and a whole suite of products for college students in agriculture and related majors.  We know her because of their extension collection of food safety education tools, including games, animations, videos and interactives. Her team of professional artists, programmers, videographers and developers create amazing tools for millions of users annually.  Dr. Chamberlin has been designing learning tools in the field of educational technology with NMSU for almost 30 years, so we’ve asked her here today to talk about the ways technology should impact the future of our work, and what technology has to do with it.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2023 Agenda - Danah Vetter, DVM</image:title>
      <image:caption>I received my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Mississippi State University (2000). After practicing small animal medicine for two years, I joined the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) in 2002.  While employed by USDA/FSIS I enjoyed a diverse 15-year career, which began as a Public Health Veterinarian (PHV) in a large poultry slaughter establishment. I supervised and trained other USDA/FSIS employees in post-mortem carcass inspection and disposition, regulatory verification procedures, food product sampling, food safety system implementation, and documentation of regulatory noncompliance.  I was cross trained as an Enforcement Investigations and Analysis Officer (EIAO) in 2003, and a full-time EIAO from 2007 through 2008. In 2009, I joined the Recall Management Staff operating under the Office of Field Operations (OFO) in Washington, D.C. I spent six (6) years in this role and led numerous recall committee deliberations providing leadership, guidance, and feedback to committee members and attendees regarding complex, unusual, or controversial issues covering a full range of inspection matters, regulations, policies, and procedures for meat, poultry, and egg products.  In 2014, I joined the Office of Public Health Science (OPHS), Science Staff as a Veterinary Medical Officer in 2014. And although I did not work on recalls full time, I frequently served as the OPHS Recall Committee representative. I also regularly worked on outbreak investigations while in OPHS which included interpreting complex epidemiological information, as well as developing investigative sampling plans and analyses of results.   Having over six years of experience organizing, leading, and participating in FSIS Recall Committees has provided me with a diverse knowledge of classifying food safety risks for the purpose of recalls and for determining scope/distribution of a recall by interpreting and analyzing multifaceted food production practices, distribution, and traceback documentation. In addition, I have experience in outbreak-related recalls involving complex epidemiological information.  In August of 2019, I joined George’s Inc. as the Director of Food Safety and Regulatory Affairs and recently celebrated four (4) years with the company.</image:caption>
