The MEAT INDUSTRY HALL OF FAME Board of Trustees has announced that 12 new members have been elected to the Class of 2012. They were chosen from a list of more than 60 nominees by the Trustees and living Members of the Hall. The nominees included industry executives, scientists, innovators and association leaders from all sectors of the livestock, meatpacking and poultry processing industries.
The Hall of Fame was founded in 2008 and has inducted 45 distinguished men and women since then. More than 200 people attended last year’s gala reception and dinner, and attendance at this year’s event is expected to be even greater.
