Leadership Transition at the International Egg Foundation (IEF)

The International Egg Foundation (IEF) has recently announced a significant leadership transition that marks an important chapter in its ongoing mission. After five years of dedicated service as Chairman, Tim Lambert has decided to step aside from his role, transitioning into the position of Treasurer/Secretary. The Foundation is pleased to welcome Bruce Dooyema as its new Chairman, who brings a wealth of passion and expertise to guide the organization into its next decade of service.

Tim Lambert’s Tenure

Reflecting on his tenure, Tim Lambert expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to lead the IEF. He stated, “It has been a privilege for me to serve as Chair of the IEF. The Foundation is driven by an outstanding and committed team, from our Trustees to our CEO, Cassy Price. It is my pleasure to pass the torch to Bruce Dooyema. Not only will he do a great job in leading the IEF, but he is incredibly skilled at connecting the people and resources we need to grow and advance the work of the Foundation.” Lambert’s leadership has been characterized by a commitment to improving global nutrition and food security through the promotion of egg production.

Introducing Bruce Dooyema

Bruce Dooyema, a lifelong advocate for egg production and accessibility, has expressed his enthusiasm for stepping into the role of Chairman. He remarked, “My passion is creating sustainable small-scale egg production facilities in developing countries across the world, ensuring that eggs—one of the most nutritious foods available—are accessible to everyone. Eggs play a vital role in early childhood development, maternal health, and lifelong well-being. I am honored to become the Chair of the IEF and am passionate about advancing its work and continuing to build upon the strong foundation laid by Tim.” Dooyema’s commitment to sustainable practices and his vision for enhancing egg production in underserved regions align perfectly with the Foundation’s objectives.

Continued Involvement of Tim Lambert

While Tim Lambert steps down as Chairman, he will remain actively involved with the IEF as a Trustee and will leverage his leadership skills in governance as the new Treasurer/Secretary. His continued participation is expected to provide valuable support to the Foundation’s mission. The IEF also wishes to extend its gratitude to Steve Manton for his exemplary contributions as Treasurer over the past two years. Manton will continue to serve as a Trustee, offering leadership and oversight, particularly in initiatives aimed at extending egg shelf life in undernourished regions.

The IEF’s Commitment to Global Nutrition

As the IEF enters its 10th year, the Foundation remains steadfast in its commitment to expanding its global impact. The organization is focused on strengthening its initiatives, which foster egg production as a means to improve nutrition and food security worldwide. Eggs are recognized for their nutritional value and their role in promoting health and well-being across various demographics, particularly in developing countries.

The leadership changes at the IEF represent a strategic move to enhance the Foundation’s capabilities and outreach. With Bruce Dooyema at the helm, the organization is poised to embark on new initiatives that will further its mission of promoting sustainable egg production and ensuring access to this vital food source for all. The transition also highlights the importance of continuity, as Tim Lambert continues to lend his expertise in a new capacity, ensuring that the Foundation’s efforts are well-supported during this period of change.

In conclusion, the IEF’s leadership transition is not merely a change in personnel but a renewal of commitment to its mission of improving global nutrition through egg production. As the Foundation looks to the future, it remains dedicated to fostering partnerships and innovative solutions that will enhance food security and promote health in communities around the world. The IEF is excited to embrace this new chapter under the leadership of Bruce Dooyema and looks forward to building on the legacy established by Tim Lambert.
