Title

Clarification of terminology in Conference governing documents

Issue you would like the Conference to consider

The 2010 - 2012 Constitution and Bylaws/Procedure Committee has reviewed the Conference for Food Protection Constitution and Bylaws and the Conference for Food Protection Procedures documents to identify where the terms "Conference", "Conference for Food Protection" and "Biennial Meeting" have been used interchangeably or incorrectly. These documents have been expanded and revised over the years with numerous writers/editors. As a result, there are locations within each document where clarification is needed to accurately represent whether a portion of text refers to the Conference for Food Protection as the organization or, refers to the Conference of Food Protection as the Biennial Meeting and vice-versa. An in-depth review was completed to discern the meaning of each passage and provide the appropriate terminology.

Public Health Significance

The Constitution and Bylaws/Procedure Committee shall submit recommendations to improve the Conference administrative functions through proposals to amend the Constitution and Bylaws and Conference Procedures.

Recommended Solution: The Conference recommends...

the editorial revision of the Conference for Food Protection Constitution and Bylaws and the Conference for Food Protection Procedures documents to correct and clarify the use of the terms "Conference", "Conference for Food Protection", and "Biennial Meeting" as appropriate.
