The National Meat Association (NMA) and the North American Meat Processors Association (NAMP) made their consolidation into a new association official today, the two associations announced in a joint statement.
The NAMP Board approved the consolidation agreement and by-laws of the new association in a special meeting Friday afternoon. The NMA Executive Committee, acting on behalf of the NMA Board, approved the documents on Thursday. Members of both associations voted overwhelming for the consolidation last month.
