2012 Iowa Pork Congress Re-Cap 2011 IPPA Membership Awards Recognizing the people and county organizations who are working to keep the Iowa pork industry strong! Many individual pork producers and their county organizations devote considerable time and effort each year to educating the public about the industry, promoting pork and working to increase membership in their county pork groups and the Iowa Pork Producers Association. The outstanding work of these producers and county pork organizations is recognized each year during the Iowa Pork Congress and the IPPA Annual Meeting. The 2011 IPPA awards were presented during the Annual Meeting Luncheon Jan. 24, 2012, at the Des Moines Marriott. Membership Membership is the backbone of the Iowa Pork Producers Association and the county pork organizations. IPPA proudly recognizes the county organizations that successfully retain and attract new members to the organization. Iowa’s organized counties recruited 4,159 producer/members in 2011, a 5 percent increase from 2010! Membership dues are used for non-Checkoff purposes such as regulatory and public policy efforts. IPPA has used membership money to address price reporting, environmental issues, animal identification, foreign trade barriers and legal challenges on behalf of pork producers. Awards for Largest County Membership, Early Bird Membership, Direct Mail Bonus, Over-Goal Membership, Largest Percentage Over Goal, the County With the Most New Members Over 2010, and County Involvement were presented by Conley Nelson, chairman of the IPPA Membership Committee.
