STAFF UPDATE GW A Fond Farewell By Lynn Valentine
I
n November 2010, I accepted the position of Gelbvieh Media Productions coordinator with excitement for the opportunity of landing my dream job, and it truly has been. But for those of you who may not know, April 22, 2020, was my last day with the American Gelbvieh Association (AGA). It is not without a few tears rolling down my cheeks as I write this note to say farewell to the AGA membership, many of who have become friends to me over the past 10 years. However, a quote keeps popping up in my mind that says, “If it doesn’t scare you, you’re probably not dreaming big enough.” With that said, I am scared to step
away from what has been constant in my life for so many years, but I am also excited to follow a dream that can lead to new and exciting things. And yes, this Colorado girl is going back home to Colorado. As I reflect on my time with AGA, I am so grateful for what I have learned and the wonderful people I have met. I want to say a huge thank you to Rebecca Mettler who has made the last five plus years of putting Gelbvieh World and The Profit Picture together truly enjoyable, we have made a good team. In closing, I want to thank you all for the opportunity to have been part of your lives over the past decade. It has been a pleasure serving and working for the AGA membership. D
