It is an honor to be selected by the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association (USPOULTRY) board of directors to serve as president, succeeding the retiring John Starkey, to carry on the missions of the Association.
Seventy-six years ago, the Southeastern Poultry and Egg Association was founded to establish a more stable and profitable poultry industry for the benefit of all producers of chickens, turkey and eggs, and the feed dealers, hatcheries, processors and allied industry members who work together for the present and future well-being of the poultry industry. The industry has certainly changed, but as the Association’s founding Executive Secretary R. Frank Frazier wrote in a 1948 edition of the Southeastern Poultryman, the original approach through “collective action on problems too big for anyone to solve alone” remains an impetus for the current mission and activities that USPOULTRY provides to the industry.
