ASA Fall Board Meeting Review

Between rounding out a few PACE shows and starting up sale season, the ASA staff has been busy with some planning meetings with committees and the ASA Board of Directors. Standing committees met via conference call in the weeks leading up to the board meeting this last weekend in preparation for any recommendations they might have.  

Montie Soules, ASA Executive Secretary/CEO provided a few key notes from the three-day board meeting held in the Omaha office:

• I would like to personally thank the ASA BOD for their time and commitment that made our most recent meeting a success; we covered many issues and topics in depth.

• I also want to thank the entire ASA staff for their dedication and involvement providing detailed information and presentations to the board for their consideration and discussion. It was a tremendous team effort from the staff.

• I would also like to recognize the breed committees who met through conference calls to provide additional detailed information giving the board direction.

"The board/staff/committee cooperation has become a Big Team Effort, leading to more involvement from membership and giving membership a bigger say in the actions of our association."

Please read Montie’s full overview of the meeting in the “Association Outlook” column in the October issue of Shorthorn Country.
