Six state pork organizations officially announced the formation and launch of the Southeast Pork Alliance, a producer-led regional partnership designed to strengthen the pork industry through collaboration, shared resources, advocacy and innovation.
The Southeast Pork Alliance brings together the following organizations:
- Kentucky Pork Producers Association
- Tennessee Pork Producers Association
- Mississippi Pork Producers Association
- Alabama Pork Producers
- Georgia Pork Producers Association
- Florida Pork Improvement Group
Though they will be united under the Southeast Pork Alliance, each participating organization will remain an independent state association with its own board of directors, governance/membership, and identity. Each state’s board of directors voted to adopt the alliance and become a founding member. The alliance will be governed by a joint council consisting of two representatives from each participating state, elected by their respective state boards, the alliance said in a release.
“I believe our greatest strength is each other. The Southeast Pork Alliance is about sharing resources, building relationships, and using our collective strengths to bring value back to the producers and state associations we serve while keeping our industry strong for the future,” says Katie Sherman, chairwoman of the Southeast Pork Alliance.
