The International Flight Services Association’s (IFSA) Government Affairs and Education Committee (GAEC) continues to work to identify meaningful education opportunities for not only GAEC members, but also IFSA’s entire membership. The GAEC is proud to have identified this opportunity and to provide it to the entire membership. At the end of 2023, the GAEC created six unique work groups within the committee, of which two are the Food Traceability Rule Work Group and Training Work Group. A special thanks to our members who have actively participated and provided valuable work so that we are able to identify and offer IFSA members with education and training on important topics.
