AlpacaGram 8.06 | New Appointments to the Board

Dear AOA Members,

It has been a week of reorganization for the Board of Directors.

Karen Ball and Patty Hasselbring have resigned for personal reasons, effective immediately, leaving three vacancies with Shauna’s departure earlier this week.

Both were instrumental in developing the current strategic plan. They also contributed to other key initiatives. We thank them for these contributions and especially for their commitment to the alpaca industry.

Karen will continue to serve on the Fiber Committee, and Patty will continue to chair the Membership Committee.

To fill these vacancies, we consulted the list of nominees from the 2020 election, honoring our members’ intent expressed in May 2020.

Please help us in welcoming Jeff Williamson (Washington), Char Johnson (Ohio), and Brian Houchin (Illinois) as your new Board members. We all thank you for serving, and we look forward to mission-focused discussions as we work to move AOA and the alpaca industry forward.

Respectfully,
The AOA Board of Directors
