 Sarah Novak, AFIA's vice president of membership and public relations, presented the award to Mr Barr at AFIA's Purchasing and Ingredient Suppliers Conference today in Orlando, Fla.

The Distinguished Service Award is AFIA's highest honour and is typically given to the elite members of the US animal food industry who have provided outstanding support to AFIA and the entire animal food industry throughout their careers.

'Bill has embraced every project with enthusiasm and a can-do attitude,' said Ms Novak. 'If he did not have the resources to make something happen, he knew who needed to be included in the conversation to accomplish the goal. He is more than deserving of this award.'

Mr Barr has been a dedicated member of AFIA since 1977. He holds a commitment to quality and exceptional customer service within his own business practices, which he has emulated over his long career in the industry.
