AFIA and GEAPS sign partnership to expand member training access
The agreement lets eligible GEAPS members use AFIA training modules and major events like the Feed Industry Institute at discounted rates.
The American Feed Industry Association (AFIA) and the Grain Elevator and Processing Society (GEAPS) have signed an agreement to expand educational and professional development opportunities for members of both organizations, World Grain reports. The groups will collaborate to connect members with select educational courses, industry events, and other resources, including coordination of enrollment processes and joint promotion of eligible opportunities to their respective memberships.
AFIA described the partnership as a way to bring together each organization’s strengths to give industry professionals more resources to build skills and support growth across the feed and grain industries, according to World Grain. Under the agreement, eligible GEAPS members can access AFIA training modules and professional growth opportunities such as the biennial Feed Industry Institute, plus AFIA industry events including the Liquid Feed Symposium and the Equipment Manufacturers Conference, for discounted rates.
Reciprocally, AFIA members will receive discounted rates for GEAPS online learning modules and for attending the GEAPS Exchange and the GEAPS Leadership Conference, as outlined by World Grain.
