We recently received the sad news that Roger Blobaum, long serving Board member of IOAS and many other non-profits in the USA, committed to organic agriculture has passed away. Roger was a foundation of knowledge and integrity during the first 15 years of IOAS development and was highly respected in the US organic movement and internationally. He will be sorely missed and remembered often for his principled and robust insights in meetings as well as for his love of ice cream. Thank you, Roger, for your contribution.
