I have been in the agri-food association world for a few years now, currently as the executive director of the Pet Food Association of Canada (PFAC). Working for an industry trade association is challenging, exciting and always changing. PFAC is no different. As the national voice of the pet food industry in Canada, we work domestically and with global counterparts. I joined CSAE to be part of the community, which is especially important when working in a remote office for a small association. I’ve made great contacts and connected with colleagues who bounce ideas off each other and provide support when needed.
