The Board of Directors of the American Soybean Association (ASA) has confirmed Steve Wellman from Syracuse, Neb., as president and Alan Kemper from Lafayette, Ind., as Chairman.
Board members also elected Danny Murphy from Canton, Miss., to serve as first vice-president, an office that places Murphy in line to be ASA President in 2013.
Also elected were Randy Mann from Auburn, Ky., as secretary, and Bob Henry from Robinson, Kan., as treasurer. Four vice-presidents were also elected: Ray Gaesser from Corning, Iowa; Bob Worth from Lake Benton, Minn.; Richard Wilkins from Greenwood, Del.; and Wade Cowan from Brownfield, Texas.
These soybean farmer-leaders form the nine-member ASA Executive Committee. Elections were held on Wednesday, Dec. 7, during ASA’s winter Board of Director’s meeting in Saint Louis.
