Responsibilities of Membership

Department of Food Science and Technology, University of California, Davis

ABSTRACT

A society such as the American Dairy Science Association is a group of persons with similar interests who have organized to facilitate the exchange of information in their field of interest for their mutual benefit and the benefit of society at large.

The idea of benefit to the individual is uppermost in the minds of most people when they join such an organization. But if the individual is to reap the maximum benefit, the organization must be a strong one and include as many persons as possible with knowledge to be exchanged. Thus, it is evident that a member not only will benefit from association with other members, but has a responsibility, as well, to try to encourage all others of proper qualifications to join so that individual benefits may be increased.

Membership campaigns are generally organized and headed by special committees. The American Dairy Science Association has an active and aggressive membership committee.
