KEARNEY – The Nebraska Beef Council is seeking candidates in five districts – including one in northeast Nebraska – to serve on the board of directors in 2025.
District 3 is hosting an election in 2024 and covers the following counties: Burt, Cedar, Cuming, Dakota, Dixon, Madison, Pierce, Stanton, Thurston and Wayne.
Directors volunteer their time to represent fellow beef producers while overseeing Beef Checkoff collections and investments on the state, national and international levels.
The board’s major responsibility is to oversee checkoff expenditures by determining promotion, research and education programs for checkoff investments. The term is four years and will begin on Jan. 2, 2025.
Producers interested in becoming a beef council director are encouraged to visit with current and past directors to learn more about this valuable experience and its commitment.
“Beef producers who are strong leaders and want to help us achieve our mission of strengthening beef demand in the global marketplace are encouraged to seek more information about our director openings,” said Ann Marie Bosshamer, executive director of the Nebraska Beef Council.
Election packets are available beginning on Feb. 1 and may be obtained by calling the beef council office at 308-236-7551.
All candidate materials contained in the election packet must be completed and mailed to the third party office, postmarked by June 15 this year.
