The year 2023 has already proven to be a year of significant progress and growth for PIP. We have continued to provide a vital platform for stakeholders, students, and industry professionals to come together, exchange ideas, and drive the poultry industry forward. While some of our events have remained virtual, they have transcended geographical boundaries, allowing us to engage with poultry enthusiasts from around the world. Looking ahead, our mission remains crystal clear: to promote collaboration, innovation, and excellence within the poultry industry. Together, we are poised to further expand our global presence, accelerate our forward momentum, and achieve remarkable growth in the years to come. I want to express my gratitude to each and every member of the PIP community for your unwavering dedication, resilience, and passion. Your collective efforts are driving our partnership to new heights, and I am excited about the possibilities that lie ahead. As we continue this journey, I encourage you to remain engaged, stay inspired, and seize every opportunity to contribute to the growth and prosperity of the poultry industry. Together, we will shape the future of poultry innovation. Susan Schafers, PIP Advisory Board Chair
