I completed the Masters of Beef Advocacy (MBA) program in 2010 as part of my journey to promote everything about the meat industry. Completing the MBA program catapulted me to a whole new level of advocacy, including feature articles in the Wall Street Journal, an appearance on FOX News Live and lots of other media stories.
The next step in my journey was to compete for one of five spots in the inaugural MBA ‘‘Top of the Class” training program. Created as an educational celebration of our successful completion of the Masters of Beef Advocacy program, sponsored by the Beef Checkoff, this two-day workshop held on National Agriculture Day in Denver, Colo., was an unforgettable event that helped to strengthen and continuously inspire the forward thinkers of our industry.
