NOVUS and Nutra Blend are again partnering to bring young pork enthusiasts to center stage – literally. In its third year, the Young Pork Advocates Issues Meet is returning to the World Pork Expo, June 3-4 in Des Moines, Iowa.
Hosted by the National Pork Producers Council and sponsored by NOVUS and Nutra Blend, the event features participants ages 18 to 22 who will take the stage to offer their solutions to specific industry issues. Those solutions are then translated into mock motions that mimic the NPPC policy development process, giving Meet competitors a look at how industry decisions in the United States are made.
The top "advocates” receive scholarship funds with first place earning $10,000 and an all-expenses-paid trip to the NCCP’s Fall Legislative Action Conference later this year in Washington, D.C.
NOVUS Regional Sales Manager Eric Sanny says the event showcases some of the best and brightest who are planning to make pork production their lifelong career.
