Montana Stockgrowers Association names new executive

The Montana Stockgrowers Association (MSGA) announced Jay Bodner as its new executive vice president. This announcement comes after a month-long search. “After an extensive search and interview process, Jay was an easy choice for the new executive vice president, said Bryan Mussard, president of MSGA. “He’s been with the association for 16 years, he is well respected throughout the state and we want to expand on his potential.” Bodner, a native of Raynesford, MT, has worked for MSGA for the past 16 years as the director of natural resources and lead lobbyist.
