The International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) is accepting applications for the 12th annual IPPE Young Leaders Under 30 Award. The American Feed Industry Association, the North American Meat Institute and U.S. Poultry & Egg Association want to recognize professional leadership qualities and to provide exposure to the world's largest annual trade show involving the production and processing of meat, poultry and egg products or in the production of animal food and pet food products.
The goal of the award is to engage and invest in the next generation of young professionals, between the ages of 21 and 29, while celebrating their status as up-and-coming leaders in their companies. Young professionals who work for companies directly involved in the production and processing of poultry and meat or in the production of animal food and whose company is a member of AFIA, NAMI or USPOULTRY are eligible to apply. The award comes with education for further training in each person’s respective industry and exposes the recipients to the latest technology used in the industry.
