June 25, 2007

The Angus Foundation was honored June 19 for excellence in producing publications and communication projects. It received several awards at the annual meeting of the National Agricultural Alumni and Development Association (NAADA) in Madison, Wis.

Among 130 additional entries from alumni associations and agricultural colleges and institutions from across the U.S., the Angus Foundation received the following awards:
• First place in the print media/four-color newsletter category for the Fall 2006 issue of “Foundation for the Future,” the Foundation’s semi-annual newsletter
• First place in the multimedia category for the Foundation’s campaign video titled “Vision of Value: Campaign for Angus”
• Second place in the multimedia category for the Foundation’s informational video titled “The Future is in Your Hands”
• Third place in the campaign/series category for “Vision of Value: Campaign for Angus,” a packet of informational materials on the Angus Foundation’s first capital campaign
• Third place in the event program category for “The Magic of the Vine” event program
• Third place in the print media/annual report category for “Advancing the Future of the Angus Breed: The 2006 Annual Report of the Angus Foundation”

In addition to the communication awards, Angus Foundation President Milford Jenkins received the Founder’s Distinguished Service Award, which is presented annually on behalf of NAADA’s founders to a member who has demonstrated outstanding service and dedication to the association.

“Good work is its own reward. I credit my talented Angus Foundation staff for their hard work in winning these prestigious awards and recognition amongst our peers from NAADA,” says Angus Foundation President Milford Jenkins. “None of these achievements and successes would be possible, however, without the financial help of our generous and supportive Angus breeders, allied industry interests and friends of the Angus Foundation across the country.”

NAADA is a professional association that provides education and support for professionals, volunteers and student leaders who are dedicated to expanding the human resources and financial support for land-grant colleges of agricultural sciences and related programs. The awards competition was established to recognize outstanding publications and communication projects among the organization’s membership.

This is the third year the Angus Foundation has entered projects in the competition and placed in the top three for the categories entered.
