Fellow Nomination Guidelines:
The very first IFT Fellows were awarded in 1970. Since then, this unique professional distinction has been given each year to individuals with outstanding and extraordinary qualifications and experience in the fields of food science and food technology.
The IFT Fellow designation is an honor bestowed upon an IFT member by their peers, recognizing exemplary achievement in the science of food profession. In a given year, no more than 0.3 percent of the professional membership is eligible, and even fewer than that will earn this honor.
The nomination of a Fellow should include evidence for exemplary accomplishments in the areas of scholarly advancement, service to the food science and technology profession, inspiration of others to excel in the food science and technology field, primary responsibility for the success of a new food product, and improvement of the human condition via food science and technology.
A revised nomination form has been developed to offer more descriptive guidance to nominators to ensure the nominee’s accomplishments are highlighted and articulated through the nomination statement. Please consider the importance of detailing achievements and impact of the nominee’s work, rather than simply bullet pointing work history.
We look forward to celebrating the new class of Fellows at IFT17 in Las Vegas in June 2017 during our annual Award Celebration and the Fellows Recognition Forum.
The Fellows Task Force has provided an additional FAQ resource for the 2017 nomination process.
