We kicked things off with our Board Retreat & Top Contributors Meeting—bringing together leadership and industry partners who continue to move our organization forward. A special congratulations to FPEC for being recognized as our #1 Contributor—a well-deserved honor for their ongoing commitment and support.
We followed with a packed All Member Meeting, and the energy did not disappoint. Great conversations, strong engagement, and of course—an incredible crawfish boil thanks to Shane Acosta, Darrell Stoner, and Sean Schader for serving up a crowd favorite 🦞
We wrapped up the week with a team adventure at the Simmons Foods plant in Gentry, Arkansas, getting an inside look at operations and the people who power our industry every day.
Weeks like this remind us what makes our “coop” so strong—leadership, partnership, and a shared commitment to the future of poultry.
