Randomly Speaking – A message from the president Bill Tentinger IPPA President Dear Fellow Pork Industry Advocates, I am proud, humbled and excited to serve you as your 2012 IPPA president. Proud because your association is regarded and respected as a very well-run and professional group. I am proud because I represent some of the best and most professional pork producers in the world. I am humbled because I know that I will be following in the footsteps of some great past presidents who have lead this association through good times and bad times with professionalism. I am excited because I look forward to serving all aspects of pork production. I hope to meet many new faces and continue to build enthusiasm and respect for what the pork industry does for Iowa. I look forward to working with the IPPA staff members because they are truly dedicated to the betterment of the Iowa pork industry. Feel free to contact them at any time for help or with concerns about issues in pork production. I also look forward to working with the board of directors, a group of dedicated industry leaders. I ask that they continue to come together with open minds to discuss issues brought before them to reach a common goal for the betterment of the pork industry in all of Iowa. Your association will be involved in many public relations activities this year running TV and radio ad campaigns and also getting more involved in social media. IPPA also will continue to be involved in the U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance. Public policy will be another area that will have heavy focus as we constantly monitor national and state issues that pertain to our industry. Regulatory and rule-making issues seem to need the most attention. There are some things that I would ask of those involved in our industry. One of them is to get involved wherever you can. Be it helping out at a local grilling/promotion or speaking out wherever you see a need. The strength of this association comes from you, the member. There is nothing that can beat or outperform putting a face on our industry. We are all in this together. Don’t wait for someone else to do it. Always think about the We Care responsible pork initiative and truly believe in what it stands for. Someday, this industry will be asked to prove that we mean it. In closing, I thank you for the opportunity to serve this organization and look forward to the coming year. Please feel free to contact anyone of the board members or myself with any concerns you might have. Bill Tentinger IPPA President March 2012 7
