Question for MJ

Tommy said:
Question MJ, who is the head of the Federation of State Beef Councils, or is it just a division with no head person?

Just saw your question, Tommy. Have you learned elsewhere who is chair of the Federation div.? Maybe you can look it up at www.beef.org. I'm about to run an errand and don't know when I'll be back. I do know that there is a newly elected person each year who is head of the Federation division. Last year it was Myron Williams of SD. Just can't recall the new one.

MJ, I looked on the site, but cannot find out who is the head person.

I don't know why it wouldn't be up by now. The election was at the annual meeting in Feb. Shorty says he read today that it is Larry Jones of KS. Neither of us remembers seeing or meeting him, which means nothing, just that we missed noticing his name during the voting, but we wouldn't have been able to vote on him, since he is Federation, and we are Policy only now.

MJ... Shorty says he read today that it is Larry Jones of KS.

Is Larry Jones the CEO? If not who is?

Tommy, I don't know if there is a CEO of the Federation. Seems like there must be someone who is equivalent to Monte Reese, CEO of the CBB, but don't recall that there is. May be just a staffer who acts as a facilitator, and the volunteer vice chair, Larry Jones. It's been a LOT of years since either of us were officially involved in the Federation or the State Beef Council, so haven't payed as much attention to structure of that group. I may be talking to someone later today who can enlighten me and will pass along anything I learn about it. Have cowboys to cook for so may be tomorrow before I get to it.
