Angus Hires Three to Communications Group

JD Rosman, Ali Luety and Max Stewart Round Out the Team.

The American Angus Association announces three additions to the communications group. JD Rosman and Ali Luety join the team as communications specialists, and Max Stewart joins as a video production specialist.

Rosman joined the team in June as a communications specialist after he graduated in May from Oklahoma State University with a bachelor’s degree in agricultural communications. Prior to joining the communications team full time, he freelanced for the Association while finishing his degree, and he interned with the Association’s communications team the summer of 2016. He also has produced extensive show coverage for the Oklahoma Youth Expo and worked for Oklahoma Horizon TV as a multi-platform journalist.

Stewart comes to the team to put his creative mind to work on producing high-quality videos for the Association. He has won many awards for his video work in the past, including first place in the Kansas State University 48 Hour Film Festival. Stewart has worked as a social media manager for Wildcat Watch out of Manhattan, Kansas, and student video producer for Kansas State University. He graduated from Kansas State University this past August with a bachelor’s degree in business management and entrepreneurship.

Luety joins the team from Agri-Pulse Communications where she had been interning since May. She graduated in 2017 from Iowa State University with a bachelor’s degree in public relations. During her time at Iowa State, Luety interned with Meredith Corporation as an editorial apprentice, as well as FarmHer and the American Farm Bureau Federation in their respective communications departments.

“We are very excited about the recent growth in our communications team,” said Clint Mefford, Association director of communications. “JD, Ali and Max are extremely talented, and we are looking forward to what our young and creative team can do for the Association.”

ANGUS MEANS BUSINESS. The American Angus Association is the nation’s largest beef breed organization, serving nearly 25,000 members across the United States, Canada and several other countries. It’s home to an extensive breed registry that grows by nearly 300,000 animals each year. The Association also provides programs and services to farmers, ranchers and others who rely on Angus to produce quality genetics for the beef industry and quality beef for consumers.
