OFI Award goes to Marshall Meyers

The OFI Award 2008 has been presented to Marshall Meyers, the executive vice president and general counsel of the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council (PIJAC). Marshall Meyers has represented the pet industry over the past 30 years. He has been instrumental in regulatory processes as well as in providing an input on aspects of animal welfare, humane transportation of animals, endangered species and other animal-related issues to international bodies (e.g. CITES), the USA and European Union, other governments and local legislative and regulatory entities. One of his first achievements was to ensure the continuation of the ornamental aquatic industry in the USA.
