Image Is Clear, NCBA CEO Says
NASHVILLE, Term. “NCBA
is us, not them; we not they,” said
National Cattlemen’s Beef Associa
tion Chief Executive Officer Terry,
Stokes at the Cattle Industry Annu
al Convention. Stokes, who has held
the top staff position for just under
one year, delivered a management
report to NCBA’s executive com
mittee.
“We’ve made a great deal of pro
gress toward crystallizing NCBA’s
image in the country,” Stokes said.
“I, along with my senior staff and
producer leaders, have participated
in more than 30 town hall meetings
in 15 states since our summer con
ference in Reno. It is very difficult
to understand the intensity of issues
for producers without meeting with
them in their hometowns and on
CFS
717-264-3533
their terms,” he said. These meet
ings have reinforced our commit
ment to increasing profit opportuni
ties for members and enhancing the
business climate for cattlemen.
NCBA membership renewal and
recruitment increased 13 percent in
the first quarter of fiscal 2003 com
pared to the same period last year.
NCBA continues to tackle financial
challenges, but the outlook looks fa
vorable, Stokes said. The Bush Ad
ministration provides a favorable
political climate for NCBA to get
the job done for cattlemen, while on
the consumer front research shows
that three-quarters of the U.S. pop
ulation has a passion for beef and
that beef demand has increased
nearly 10 percent since 1998.
