LETHBRIDGE, AB – The new year means Alberta Beef Producers (ABP) is preparing a series of zone meetings. ABP Chair Melanie Wowk explains:

Alberta beef producers from all sectors are invited to attend the 2022 ABP producer meetings, running Jan. 24 to Feb. 10. One in-person meeting will take place in each zone, COVID regulations permitting, and there will be a virtual town hall wrap-up meeting that will be held in February.

Wowk outlines the agenda for the zone meetings:

“During the meetings, you can look forward to presentations by myself and ABP general manager Brad Dubeau, an update from the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association and guest speakers. Please join us so that you can meet your local delegate and bring forward resolutions that may shape ABP policy and direction. Have input in putting your producer check-off dollars to work.”

Free advanced registration is encouraged. It can be found at abpdaily.com/events.
