Angus Foundation Earns Awards
The
Angus Foundation brought home two awards from the 2005 National Agricultural
Alumni and Development Association’s (NAADA) 30th Annual
Conference, June 11-15 in Des Moines, Iowa. The Foundation placed first in the
alumni and donor publications category and in the development projects
category with its spring 2005 edition of “Foundations for the
Future” newsletter, and “That Old Black Magic” Gala and
Auction invitation.
“National
recognition of this nature and magnitude bestowed upon the Angus Foundation
by its peers from higher education and agricultural industry interests
associated with NAADA is very humbling and rewarding,” said Milford
Jenkins, director of development for the Foundation. “Credit is to be given to Shelia
Stannard, Callie Meinhardt, and Julie McMahon French for their invaluable
assistance in helping the Angus Foundation with these respective
communication pieces.”
According to Jenkins,
more than 200 people were in attendance at this year’s conference and
competition was entered from various colleges, alumni, student affairs,
volunteer programs and other affiliated agricultural organizations throughout
the United States.
“The Angus
Foundation is tirelessly striving to further expand and enhance its
communications with Angus breeders, allied industry interests, and friends
who financially support the Foundation’s education, youth and research
programs and this recognition will encourage us to work even harder toward
that objective in the future,” Jenkins concluded.
