Jim Burdette brings a broad perspective on the industry to his presidency of the PHA. “Our goals need to be simple: we will al ways have change, and we must continue to serve the membership. And the membership must be involved for the association to serve them,” Burdette figures “I have a lot of confi dence in the members of our Executive com mittee and our officers group, including past presidents and our Hall of Fame winners who continue to be involved. We have leadership bringing experiences and expertise from other businesses along with dairying; it all comes together to put us in a very positive position.” “We also have bitten the bullet to deal with a debt load the association is carrying. We have a young, ambitious staff and they’re working hard for us,” credits Burdette. Zeneca Web Site Takes Visitors Around The World Of Crop Protection WILMINGTON, Del.
