Hereford producers to meet in Oct.
Members of the American Hereford Association will gather in Kansas City Oct. 28 to 30 for the 2011 Annual Meeting. Hereford enthusiasts from across the U.S. will enjoy a full schedule of events and activities including educational forums, the Annual Meeting and the National Hereford Show during the American Royal. A new schedule of events and a venue change is planned for this year's event. The Hyatt Regency Crown Center will host the event and the Annual Membership Meeting will be on Oct. 29. The event kicks off Oct. 28, when new members are invited to the AHA office for a chance to tour the headquarters and for educational workshops. Reservations are requested for this event. To reserve your space at the orientation, contact Mary Ellen Hummel at 816-842-3757 or mhummel@hereford.org. That afternoon an educational forum will be at the Hyatt, followed by a "Hereford Homecoming" reception. Oct. 29 will be the Annual Membership Meeting. The purpose of the Annual Membership Meeting is to elect new directors, hear special reports, recognize award winners and conduct Association business. The Association's Annual Report will be presented and distributed during the Annual Meeting and this year's Hereford Heritage Hall of Fame and Hereford Hall of Merit recipients will be recognized. The AHA nominating committee has announced six Hereford breeders vying for positions on the Board of Directors. Candidates include David DeLong, Earlville, Ill.; Fred Larson, Spring Valley, Wis.; Les Midla, Marianna, Pa.; David Schubel, Medina, N.Y., David Trowbridge, Tabor, Iowa; and Eric Walker, Morrison, Tenn. The October Hereford World will include complete bios on the candidates. AHA has seats blocked for the American Royal Rodeo the night of Oct. 29 featuring Reba McEntire.
