Breed News AMERICAN ANGUS ASSOCIATION 2020 Angus Convention Simplified to 137th Annual Meeting
The American Angus Association made the decision to reformat the 2020 Angus Convention originally scheduled for Nov. 7-9 in Kansas City, MO. The event will now be a two-day meeting on Nov. 8-9 and will continue with the tradition of holding an annual meeting of delegates that has occurred since the inception of the Association in 1883. The National Angus Tour and trade show portion of the event have been canceled and the number of educational sessions will be reduced, but virtual options for members and attendees will be offered. The American Angus Association Board of Directors candidate forum and state caucuses will proceed as scheduled and will be webcast for those not in attendance. The 137th Convention of Delegates will be held at 10 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 9. If members are unable to attend in person, they can attend virtually, and voting delegates will have a virtual participation option.
