The Canadian Cattle Association (CCA) is announcing some key moves within the organization.
Jennifer Babcock has been promoted to the Chief Government and International Affairs Officer.
She has a proven track record of advocacy successes.
Babcock will lead CCA’s initiatives to promote and protect the interests of Canada’s beef cattle industry domestically and internationally.
In a recent CCA Action News Blog, Babcock says she looks forward to her new and expanded leadership role on CCA’s advocacy efforts.
"Following our board’s direction," Babcock says, "CCA staff has developed a priority list of policies and regulatory changes to help support success for Canadian cattle producers, and we look forward to working with our new government representatives to implement them and ensure the continued sustainability and longevity of our cattle industry."
The Canadian Cattle Association has also announced its new Environment and Climate Change Team,
Mitchell Zoratti, has been promoted to Environment and Climate Change Manager with the retirement of Larry Thomas, and new staff member Graydon Garner has been named Environment and Climate Change Coordinator.
Mitchell Zoratti grew up on a multi-generational ranch near Pincher Creek, Alberta.
Graydon Garner and his wife live on the family ranch near Strathmore, Alberta. Prior to joining the CCA, he worked for Ducks Unlimited Canada, delivering farm-gate agricultural conservation programs in Alberta.
