I have known Patrice for about 15 years through my involvement with AOAC and IAFP. He has been actively involved in AOAC activities as a developer, presenter and moderator for numerous symposia at many AOAC Annual meetings. He is an active member of the ERP for Microbiology, ISPAM and chair-elect of the RI Board of Directors. Patrice is both a colleague and a friend and I am honored to nominate him as a most deserving candidate for the Technical Service Award.
