We are very pleased to announce this promotion."
Weldon began her career with DCI in 2006 as a recruiter and was promoted into the roles of Account Manager, Director of Sales and Operations and most recently VP of Sales and Operations.

We have so much to celebrate in the ag industry and as a company, we hope everyone has a chance to come say hello." DCI will be offering giveaways and entries for prizes such as a Blackstone griddle in addition, show goers will have a chance to "chill" with popsicles at the booth.
