JAN. 13, 2005 — The American Angus Association will continue a series of Outreach Seminars in effort to boost communications with the membership. Outreach Seminars are planned for mid-January in Winona, Miss., and Spring Hill, Tenn. Association staff will travel to these sites to provide updates on Association programs including AngusSource and current performance program enhancements.
In addition, breeders will have an opportunity to provide input to Association staff and directors during interactive discussions about ways the Association can best serve members today and in the future.
"We will be meeting in the Southeastern states to update our members on the latest happenings with their Association programs," says Jim Shirley, vice president of industry relations for the Association. "We encourage our producers to attend one of theses sessions to share their ideas with the staff."
The first meeting will be January 18 at E E Ranches Inc., near Winona, Miss. Contact Cheryl Evans at 662-283-3337 for directions. A second seminar will begin at 7 p.m., January 19 at the Middle Tennessee Experiment Station Conference Center at Spring Hill, Tenn. You can call 931-486-2129 for directions.
