A Message from the FSPCA Director: Celebrating Milestones and Looking Ahead

The year 2026 marks a series of significant milestones for the Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance (FSPCA). We proudly celebrate the 15th anniversary of FSPCA, established in 2011; the 10th anniversary of the official launch of our first standardized FSPCA curriculum in 2016; and the hosting of the 10th FSPCA Annual Conference, bringing together the global food safety community.

Over the past decade, FSPCA has become an internationally recognized, premier source for FSMA‑related training. To date, FSPCA has successfully trained 3,230 Lead Instructors across 80 countries, supported the delivery of 21,475 participant courses, and reached more than 245,000 food safety professionals in 154 countries through FSPCA training programs.

On behalf of FSPCA, I extend my sincere appreciation to our contributors, Lead Instructors, and partners across the food safety community. Your commitment and collaboration have been instrumental in achieving these important milestones.

As we move forward into 2026, we are excited to welcome our new members of the Executive Advisory Board (EAB), whose insights will support our ongoing efforts to strengthen strategic and operational excellence and enhance our programs, services, and support.

I look forward to working closely with all of you in the year ahead and to connecting again at upcoming FSPCA events and at our Annual Conference as we build an even stronger future together. 

Jason Wan, Ph.D.
