The ASA’s World Initiative for Soy in Human Health program elected its officers and committee members for the upcoming year at least week’s board meeting. Officers are Iowa soybean grower Morey Hill (IA) as Chair, Scott Gaffner (IL) as Vice Chair, Bob Haselwood (KS) as Treasurer, and new to the WISHH executive committee is Jeff O’Connor (IL), who joins as Secretary.
“This is an exciting time for WISHH,” said Executive Director Gena Perry of the selection of the new officers. “As we continue to lead U.S. soy in new markets, I am grateful for the farmers who volunteer their time to lead the organization. We are also pleased to welcome Jeff Thompson (SD), Ryan Frieders (IL), and Roberta Simpson-Dolbeare (IL) as committee members this year.”
Perry also thanked Dawn Scheier (SD), Tim Bardole (IA), and Mark Read (IL) for their many years of service as they are leaving the committee this year.
