2020 AGA Annual Meeting Annual Meeting Highlights

In true 2020 fashion, American Gelbvieh Association (AGA) members gathered at their home or office to attend the 2020 AGA Annual Meeting and committee meetings, which were held virtually on December 4, 2020.

The AGA board of directors made the difficult decision this Fall to postpone the association’s 50th anniversary celebration to late 2021 and move to an allvirtual event. The event was originally scheduled to take place December 2-4, 2020, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. This decision was made due to increasing COVID-19 restrictions and for the health and safety of all attendees.

Despite the trials and tribulations of 2020, Association business was conducted successfully. The event began on Wednesday, December 2, 2020, with a Gelbvieh Happy Hour for members new to the Zoom platform to get more comfortable with attending virtual meetings. It was also a great time for AGA members to catch up with each other in an informal setting. The following day, the AGA board of directors meeting was held.

Committee meetings kicked off the events for Friday, December 4. Important discussions needed to shape the Association’s future were held in each of these committee meetings. An awards presentation was also held to recognize the Commercial Producer of the Year, the Breeder of the Year and the newest inductee into the AGA Hall of Fame.

The 2020 AGA Annual Membership Meeting began with a state of the association address by Megan Slater, AGA executive director, along with the president’s message by Dan McCarty, AGA president. AGA business was then conducted, including the AGA board of directors election. The membership also ratified the actions of the 2019-2020 AGA board of directors before the meeting was concluded.

The AGA would like to thank all the members who attended the 2020 AGA Annual Meeting and made it a successful event! D
