Reflecting on his tenure, Tim Lambert shared, “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.”

Bruce Dooyema, a life-long advocate for egg production and accessibility, expressed his enthusiasm for the role: “My passion is creating sustainable small-scale egg production facilities in developing counties 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 honoured to become the Chair of the IEF and passionate about advancing its work and continuing to build upon the strong foundation laid by Tim.”

While stepping aside as Chairman, Tim will continue as a Trustee and will play a key role in the IEF as Treasurer/Secretary, applying his leadership skills in governance to support the Foundation’s mission. The IEF also extends its gratitude to Steve Manton for his outstanding contributions as Treasurer over the past two years. Steve will continue to serve as a Trustee providing leadership and oversight in addition to helping extend egg shelf life within programmes in undernourished regions.

As the IEF enters its 10th year, the Foundation remains committed to expanding its impact, strengthening its initiatives to foster egg production to improve global nutrition and food security, through the power of eggs.
