Drown selected among peers as representative

18 California Cattleman March 2020 Three young beef leaders have been selected and will serve as the American National CattleWomen’s Collegiate Beef Advocates for 2020—one of which has California roots and is no stranger to the need for ranching advocates in the West. Sarah Drown, a fifth-generation rancher of Santa Isabel, Calif., and current student at Oklahoma State University (OSU) will spend the next year serving as a Collegiate Beef Advocate. Sarah is the daughter of Glenn and Margaret Drown. Glenn is an active member of the San Diego-Imperial Cattlemen’s Association and Margaret is active with the San Diego County Cowbelles. “The American National CattleWomen’s (ANCW) Beef Advocacy Program was created for beef industry advocates interested in bridging the gap between the farm and the fork,” according to the program’s webpage. “This program connects the Collegiate leaders to the beef industry where they can have unlimited access to leadership, their peers, cattlemen and cattlewomen and beef industry professionals. They will grow as individuals, strengthen their leadership skills and establish networks.” The 2020 Cattle Industry Convention & National Cattlemen’s Beef Association’s (NCBA) Tradeshow in San Antonio marked the start of the program for this year’s three advocates—hailing from Iowa, Louisiana and California. After a packed year of representing the cattle industry, the young beef leaders will complete their time as advocates at next year’s convention in Nashville, Tenn. Growing up on her family’s cow/ calf operation in San Diego County, Sarah’s background in the beef business, paired with her leadership experience through 4-H and FFA, as well as her agricultural studies at OSU, led her to the program. “Once I got into FFA, I got really involved in the leadership aspect and found a love for the agriculture industry,” Sarah said. In addition to serving as a Collegiate Beef Advocate, Sarah is also studying agricultural communications and agribusiness at OSU with the goal of continuing her education after she completes her undergrad. “My plan is to go to law school when I graduate next May and stay involved in the ag industry,” Sarah said. “I come from California so I see how legislation and all kinds of stuff impacts agriculturalists in our state and I have a passion and a desire to represent them and help them in any way that I can. That’s what I want to do as an attorney.” On top of receiving a scholarship at the end of the program, Sarah will be participating in various networking and educational opportunities within the beef industry throughout the upcoming year. “We are very fortunate we have a lot of opportunities to travel, hone our advocacy skills for the beef industry and become leaders and speakers in the industry,” Sarah said. Some of the travel Sarah and the other advocates will partake in this year includes attending the NCBA Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C., Cattle Industry Summer Business Meetings in Denver, ANCW Women in Ranching Education and Development events, as well as other meetings on a local, state and national levels, potentially including the National Western Stock Show.

PLC NAmes GLOVER AS NEW Executive Director

20 California Cattleman March 2020 The Public Lands Council (PLC), in late January announced that Kaitlynn Glover joined the organization as its executive director. In this role, Glover will serve as the chief lobbyist for the organization, representing cattle and sheep producers in western states. The legislative and regulatory portfolio focuses on protecting grazing on federal land, and includes the Clean Water Act, tax policy, the Endangered Species Act, property rights and other matters that affect livestock producers in the West. “I’m passionate about the work of the PLC and look forward to working with the incredible leaders who volunteer their time to lead the organization,” said Glover. “My top priority will continue to be executing the policy developed by public lands grazers across the West to ensure a strong future for agriculture and healthy public lands. I look forward to leveraging my experience and bringing new perspectives to the many important issues impacting the West.” Glover comes to PLC from Sen. John Barrasso’s (R-Wyo.) office and brings additional experience in international affairs from her work with the agricultural

semi-state authority in Ireland, Teagasc. Originally from Wyoming, Glover has strong ties to grazers, recreationalists and many other users of public land resources. “As we look at the future of federal lands ranching in Washington and anticipate the leadership needed to drive our priority issues forward, we need a strong voice,” PLC President Bob Skinner said. “Kaitlynn is an outstanding fit as she comes well equipped to serve our organization with legislative knowledge, relationships, and a passion to drive PLC to higher ground. With her leadership, our organization will continue to be well represented in Washington.” In addition to representing PLC, Glover will also lead the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association’s natural resources policy portfolio in the organization’s Washington, D.C., office.
