US National Chicken Council appoints four officers to guide organisation

The United States' National Chicken Council (NCC) has installed four officers that will guide the organisation through 2023.

The installation took place at NCC's 67th Annual Conference in Washington, DC, the United States. Kevin Garland, chief executive officer of Mountaire Farms, will serve as 2022-2023 chairman of NCC.

Additionally, Perdue Farms' CEO, Randy Day, will serve as vice chairman.

New to the 2022-2023 officer corps is Bill Griffith, chief operations officer at Peco Foods, who will serve as NCC's secretary-treasurer.

In addition to the three new officers, Mike Brown was elected to a 12th term as president of NCC.

"This past year was riddled with challenges for our industry – COVID-19, hurricanes, record inflation, soaring input costs and new government regulations," said Brown. "2023 will present new challenges, but also opportunities. With the depth of experience brought forth by this new slate of leadership, I fully expect us to continue to rise up to them all."
