From the Executive Director

By Dallas Rynd

At the Ohio Holstein convention in early March, the OHA Board of Directors voted to keep the executive director’s position in place after Tom Thorbahn stepped down from that position at the December board meeting. I have agreed to fill that role when the board asked me to do so. I will make every effort to keep things moving forward.

I do want to give a huge thank you to Tom for his time as executive director. He accepted that role at a critical time in our Ohio Holstein Association and has done an outstanding job for the past eight years.

It was very evident that everyone was ready to get back to normal times as we had great attendance at the Ohio Holstein convention that was held at the Deercreek State Park and Lodge. My home district, District 5, was happy to host the convention and we received many compliments. It was a beautiful setting with great accommodations. I want to give special thanks to all the District 5 members who helped with the convention, to Lisa Mangun as the Convention Committee chairperson and to Melissa Hart for all her suggestions and help. ADA Mideast is always a great help when it comes to convention and this year was no different. Erin Brown at ADA Mideast helped us with posters and milk for this year’s event.

The sale, business meetings and the awards luncheon went smoothly and had lots of energy. As always, the Women’s Auction was fun and raised lots of money for scholarships and the Ohio Holstein Women.

It’s looking a lot more like spring these days. I’m glad to see the warm weather and am looking forward to seeing everyone at our April sale. Please let me know if I can assist you or your district in any way.
