CATTLEMEN'S BEEF BOARD CEO RESIGNS, INTERIM CEO NAMED
Jun. 30, 2011
Agri-Pulse reports:
After more than 17 years of committed service to the beef checkoff, the Cattlemen's Beef Board (CBB) Executive Committee yesterday reluctantly accepted Chief Executive Officer Tom Ramey's resignation, according to a statement issued by Wesley Grau, Chairman of the CBB Executive Committee.
As Agri-Pulse reported June 15 in our subscriber only e-newsletter, the Cattlemen's Beef Board (CBB) Executive Committee took disciplinary action against Ramey for eavesdropping on conference calls organized by the National Cattlemen's Beef Association.
Agri-Pulse obtained a document emailed to CBB members on June 8 that summarizes the results of an internal investigation into allegations of personnel misconduct brought by NCBA President Bill Donald.
The Executive Committee has asked Polly Ruhland to act as interim CEO for the present time.
"After more than 20 years in the beef industry, Polly was most recently CBB's vice president of planning and evaluation, and before that served in several senior staff positions at the National Cattlemen's Beef Association," Grau said in his statement.
"Through this experience, she understands both the beef checkoff oversight and contractor roles, and is highly qualified to help us move the checkoff forward in its goal to build demand for beef.
"We appreciate that Tom's decision to resign was a personal one for him and his family, and we thank him for his dedication to the nation's farmers and ranchers through his service to the beef checkoff, noted Grau
