The delegates and alternates to the 141st Convention of Delegates of the American Angus Association have been elected. These cattlemen and women will represent the members of their state to vote during the meeting, held Nov. 4, in Fort Worth, TX.
Delegates were elected through a process that began in the spring, when members nominated other members. Those eligible to vote and be nominated were active life or regular members of the American Angus Association who qualified as Eligible Voting Members by April 7, 2024. Nominees could be any Eligible Voting Member whose farm or ranch is located in the same state as the nominator. After completed forms were returned to the Association, ballots were prepared and sent to Eligible Voting Members in each voting district (state or Canada).
A complete list of Delegates and Alternates to the 2024 Annual Convention of Delegates of the American Angus Association is listed below. Delegates and alternates should watch their email for additional information, including a code to register for Angus Convention.
