The American Egg
Board has elected Roger Deffner, vice president of the National Food
Corporation, Everett, Wash., to serve as its chairman for 2013-2014.
Most recently, Deffner served on the executive committee. He
previously served as the chairman of American Egg Board's foodservice and egg
product marketing and industry programs committees. Deffner has been on this
board since 2008.
The election was held during the American Egg Board's March
board meeting. Others elected to the executive committee included: Vice
Chairman, Greg Herbruck, Herbruck Poultry Ranch, Saranac, Mich. ; Secretary,
Blair Van Zetten, Oskaloosa Food Products, Oskaloosa, Iowa ; Treasurer, Paul
Sauder, R.W. Sauder Inc., Lititz, Penn., and members Andrew Reichman, Parker
& Reichman Inc., Andrews, N.C., and Pat Stonger, Daybreak Foods, Lake
Mills, Wis.
Deffner's first official duty
was presenting the 36th Commemorative Egg to First Lady
Michelle Obama and President Barack Obama, along with American Egg Board
President and CEO Joanne C. Ivy at the White House Easter Egg Roll.
Bringing his
enthusiasm to everything egg-related, Deffner believes strongly in the American
Egg Board's value to the entire egg industry.
"The American Egg Board
executes a wealth of programs that we as individual egg farmers simply couldn't
do so successfully," said Deffner. "Since first being appointed to the Board in
2008, I've seen an emphasis on strategic planning and perhaps even more
importantly, strategic results. The entire team at American Egg Board strives to
ensure our investment is well spent. I'm honored to serve the egg industry in
this role."
