The 140th Annual Convention of Delegates for the American Angus Association assembled Nov. 6 in Orlando, FL. Five members were re-elected to the board of directors for a second term. They are Mark Ahearn, Wills Point, TX; Smitty Lamb, Tifton, GA; Charles Mogck, Olivet, SD; Darrell Stevenson, White Sulphur Springs, MT; and Jerry Theis, Leavenworth, KS. The officers of the board were also elected.
Elected officers are Barry Pollard, Enid, OK, president and chairman of the board and Jonathan Perry, Fayetteville, TN, vice president and vice chairman of the board. Jim Brinkley, Milan, MO, will serve as the treasurer for the 2023 to 2024 term.
“I look forward to working with the board and the membership in general, and the staff as well,” said newly elected Pollard. “We have such talented people all across that at every level, and we want to hear their ideas. We want to hear how the things we’ve done for them genetically or EPDs are benefiting their herd and what questions they have.”
Directors can serve up to two three-year terms on the board and, if elected, they serve an additional one-year term in office as president/chairman and/or vice president/vice chairman.
