Milton Y. Dendy Lecture Series

History of the Dendy Keynote Lecture Series

Milton Y Dendy was an Extension Specialist at the University of Georgia from 1955-1977. In 1980, the poultry section of the Association of Southern Ag Workers broke off from that group and, under the leadership of Dr. E.L. Stephenson (University of Arkansas) and Dr. Bob Harms (University of Florida) formed the Southern Poultry Science Society (SPSS).

Mr. Dendy was asked to serve as the first Secretary/Treasurer of SPSS, a position he held until 1992. In 1998, SPSS and SCAD (the Southern Conference on Avian Diseases) met together for the first time and the Dendy Lecture was created; the first Lecture was presented by Dr. Colin Whitehead of the Roslin Institute at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.
