IAOM has been named as a winner of the 2009 Associations Make a Better World Awards program. IAOM received an honorable mention for innovation in the U.S./Developed Nations category for its participation in the Flour Fortification Initiative.
As one of the leading supporters of the Flour Fortification Initiative, IAOM has been a prominent player in FFI’s work from the very beginning. In 2003, IAOM’s board of directors approved a resolution in support of FFI agreeing to
- coordinate the development of fortification learning tools;
- work with FFI to build a coordinated worldwide support network for milling education programs;
- and make training resources on flour fortification available through IAOM.
Flour fortification has taken center stage numerous times at the IAOM Mideast & Africa, and Eurasia Districts’ conferences, and was a featured topic at IAOM’s 2003 conference in North America. Introduced in 2002, Associations Make a Better World Awards recognize associations that engage in compelling programs and activities that benefit communities abroad in two categories: U.S./Developed Nations and Developing Nations. The Associations Make a Better World Awards recognize outstanding association programs, projects and activities that make a significant contribution to society and economies around the world. The awards are presented annually to recognize associations making an impact outside of the United States. To read the full press release, please click here.
