CJLA NEWS & UPDATES

The news this month is different than the usual! After much thought and consideration, Heidi has decided to step down from the CJLA and pass it on to others that will carry the vision on into the future. It wasn’t an easy decision, but it was time. Along with dealing with health issues the past couple of years, Heidi’s priority needs to be on focusing on her health, her family, and her loved ones. CJLA was her vision that came to life in 2000. As she says, it has been a great ride full of memories she will treasure always! You can read more of her message in her editorial in this issue. Beginning with 2022, Nelson Hanson and Ashlee Anderson will be carrying on with the CJLA under their California Youth Livestock Association. Heidi and I are both excited to see their vision and what they have to offer going forward! We look forward to working with them in the next few months as the transition is made and will keep you informed with updates from our end as things are worked out. I’m sure they will be getting the word out with their plans as well! For this year, we will wrap up 2021 as planned. I know it’s late but I am working on the points and will get a report to everyone as quickly as I can. Heidi and I are working on the awards for the 2020 ceremony that will be held at the Harvest Moon Jackpot in Bakersfield in November. We are also planning to have an award ceremony for our 2021 members after the first of the year. Don’t forget about all the sanctioned shows that will complete our year.
