Awards Ceremony & Keynote Address
|
10:30 am – 12:00 pm
President Hill will present awards to individuals who have contributed to the analytical science community
and to AOAC. Presentations include the prestigious Harvey W. Wiley Award and Wiley Scholarship Award,
Fellows of AOAC awards, technical awards, and member service awards for those who have achieved the
milestone anniversaries of 5-, 10-, 25-, and 50-years of membership in the Association.
We are honored to have Gregory O. Noonan, PhD, Director of the Division of Bioanalytical Chemistry
at the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as the
Keynote Speaker. Dr. Noonan is the U.S. Delegate
to the Codex Committee on Methods of Analysis
and Sampling (CCMAS), and chairs the Working
Group on the Endorsement of Methods, so he has
an inside perspective on Codex Alimentarius and
its committees. In his presentation, Dr. Noonan
will discuss why methods of analysis are a critical
component to verifying that food meets both safety
and quality standards agreed to by international
trading partners. And, why working with standards
organizations, such as AOAC INTERNATIONAL,
is critical to ensuring newly developed methods
are properly considered by Codex Committees. His
presentation is entitled, “U.S. Participation in Codex
Alimentarius, the Role of Standard Developing
Organizations”. Please mark your calendars to join us
for this dynamic presentation!
