USMEF Seeking Nominations for 2014 Distinguished Service Award

Published: Jun 10, 2014
USMEF has grown in many ways since its doors opened in 1976. This growth and related achievements in export markets around the world have been made possible with the outstanding support and dedication of USMEF members and industry partners. Over the years, USMEF has recognized selected individuals for their service for the organization with its Distinguished Service Award.

The Distinguished Service Award recognizes an individual for his or her leadership and lifetime contributions toward the achievement of our organization’s export goals. This year, the USMEF Distinguished Service Award will be presented at our Strategic Planning Conference, Nov. 5-7, 2014, in Arlington, Virginia.

Your nominations are needed to ensure that we identify and honor a deserving individual whose leadership and involvement in USMEF and its activities have made a significant impact on our work in international markets.

Following are the guidelines for eligibility:
  1. Nominees from all industry sectors and segments are eligible: livestock, feedgrain and soybean production; farm industry; agribusiness (supply and service); research and technology; packing and processing; purveying and trading; and trade policy.
  2. Nominees do not have to be current or former USMEF members.
  3. Nominees may be from the government sector.
  4. The individual may be honored posthumously.
