Governance & Structure

   Our founding fathers first established our predecessor organization to be the voice all cattle producers and to serve as the beef industry leader. The foundation of its existence is outlined in the industry vision statement. In that vision the principle of one plan, one budget, and one voice is clearly portrayed. It speaks clearly to industry unity and collaboration.

How NCBA Policy is Adopted

How NCBA Policy is Adopted and by Who
NCBA is an organization that is producer directed. All direction and policy is brought forth to NCBA from producers through their state and breed organizations. In this section you will see how policy is adopted and look at the numbers that illustrate what sectors of the industry make up our Board of Directors.

Proposed Governance Changes

To create an environment within NCBA that further fostered individual members input and involvement the volunteer leaders of NCBA gave the following proposal to the Board of Directors at the 2002 Convention. The following is an overview of the association's governance and policy process and the proposed changes. A driving force behind the change was to make it easier and more inviting for all producers to become engage in the process and lend their concerns and input into the discussion and decisions being made on shaping the industries future.
