President Hill will present awards to individuals who have contributed to the analytical science community and to AOAC. Presentations include the prestigious Harvey W. Wiley Award and Wiley Scholarship Award, Fellows of AOAC awards, technical awards, and member service awards for those who have achieved the milestone anniversaries of 5-, 10-, 25-, and 50-years of membership in the Association. We are honored to have Gregory O. Noonan, PhD, Director of the Division of Bioanalytical Chemistry at the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as the

Keynote Speaker. Dr. Noonan is the U.S. Delegate to the Codex Committee on Methods of Analysis and Sampling (CCMAS), and chairs the Working Group on the Endorsement of Methods, so he has an inside perspective on Codex Alimentarius and its committees. In his presentation, Dr. Noonan will discuss why methods of analysis are a critical component to verifying that food meets both safety and quality standards agreed to by international trading partners. And, why working with standards organizations, such as AOAC INTERNATIONAL, is critical to ensuring newly developed methods are properly considered by Codex Committees. His presentation is entitled, “U.S. Participation in Codex Alimentarius, the Role of Standard Developing Organizations”. Please mark your calendars to join us for this dynamic presentation!
