It has truly been a privilege and an honor to serve as the 20202022 Pennsylvania Holstein Association President. The last two years have been a learning experience for me, but being surrounded by great people on the executive committee and our employees, it has made me a better person. It has been fun and challenging serving on numerous committees, but I could not have asked for a better two years. I would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who worked endlessly to put on a wonderful National Convention. We had an outstanding turnout with smiles lining the hallways. The tours, contests, meals, and events were all a big hit, and provided some great time to meet new friends and catch up with old ones. Congratulations to all of the juniors who represented Pennsylvania so wonderfully, we could not be more proud. It has been decided that we will be starting a reserve fund with the leftover money from the National Convention. This money will be used for any necessary means in the future, hoping to ensure our Association will last for many generations. This summer, we had an outstanding turnout with all of the regional shows. Congratulations to all of the exhibitors who prepared and showed some outstanding cows that represented the Holstein breed well. Thank you to Jennifer Hill who worked hard to prepare for and help these shows to run smoothly. Unfortunately, Jennifer has decided to pursue other endeavors and will be resigning from her position as Show Coordinator. If you have an interest in this position please feel free to contact me. The recent Nittany Lion Fall Classic Sale was another large success for our Association this year. Thank you to all of the volunteers who prepared and took care of the large group of animals, along with everyone who helped to have the sale run so smoothly. The Dairy Science Club did a terrific job yet again, and our Association is extremely appreciative. This upcoming year, we will experience our first joint junior and adult State Convention since 1988 and it will be held in Reading. We are looking forward to meeting in person again after our missed convention in 2021. Thank you to our Southeast region for hosting, I am excited to see what you have in store for us. I have enjoyed my time as President, and look forward to continuing to support the Pennsylvania Holstein Association for the following years. Thank you for all of your support and assistance during this time. God bless this Association, all of the wonderful members, and God bless the Holstein cow.
