“And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain…. “
This friends is my last article as your President, it has been my great honor and joy to have served these past two years! Unlike Mr. Sinatra, whose lyrics I quote at the start of this article, I didn’t do it “My Way” (hopefully that song is stuck in your head now (you’re welcome!)).
This Association is member-driven with policy confirmed every year at the Annual Convention. This year’s Convention takes place in Winnemucca November 16-18 and along with policy making, we have a great slate of speakers lined up covering a wide variety of topics, a robust trade show, and I can’t discount the fellowship of cattlemen friends and supporters we’ll enjoy as well. I hope to see you there.
There’s a lengthy list of folks to thank for supporting me in my role as President but at the top is definitely Martin Paris and Sharon McKnight, they are the backbone of the Association and work hard on our behalf every day. Thank you Martin and Sharon, thank you! Thanks to Hanes Holman who will take the reins from me, I look forward to his leadership. Thanks to our committees and committee chairs who stay abreast and keep on top of a wide variety of issues that impact us.
If you’ve made it this far with me gentle reader, thank you as well; it has been my pleasure to be with you.
Jon Griggs
President, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association
