About IFT Sections
IFT Sections are local, member-led chapters that bring food system professionals together in your area. Sections host events, volunteer opportunities, educational sessions, and programs for career professionals and students. They are a great way to meet peers, access resources, and get involved in your local community.
Membership in your local Section is automatic, and you can join additional Sections to expand your network.
My participation in IFT’s South Eastern Section has helped me grow personally and professionally and enabled me to create long-lasting connections with a wide variety of industry professionals whom I can call upon as friends and colleagues.
