The International Lectureship Award
Sponsored by PIC
The International Award was established in 1992 to honor an individual for internationally recognized contributions to the field of meat science and technology and active leadership and promotion of international activities in fostering cooperation and open communication, and the dissemination of knowledge for the benefit of society through meat science and technology. In 2009, the award was renamed the International Lectureship Award and features an opportunity for the recipient to share his/her expertise with the AMSA membership.
