The Western Association of Food & Drug Officials changes bylaws to appoint Seattle Fish Co.’s Ken Boyer as 2023 president. As the first-ever industry member to hold an officer position, Boyer draws on over 30 years of seafood industry experience to bring a fresh perspective to the organization that is tasked with keeping the Western region’s food supply safe.
“When I first joined WAFDO nine years ago, I noticed a lack of food industry experts in leadership positions,” said Boyer. “I’m honored to not only represent the seafood sector, but to invest time in this community to provide a perspective from industry experts. During my presidency this year, I intend to continue WAFDO’s incredible work and to seek to foster increased collaboration from industry experts within the organization and on the leadership board.”
