What they’re saying . . .

"We can’t make long-term research decisions and long-term business decisions without knowing where the industry is heading a year or two years from now. This organization gives us the opportunity to look at that landscape and predict with a bit more clarity where we want to be a year or two from now."
R. L. "Rick" Sibbel, D.V.M.
Manager, Swine Business Unit
Schering-Plough Animal Health

"Being a part of this organization gives us an opportunity to be in a forum of a lot of like-minded organizations. NIAA closes the barrier for groups to work together."
Tom Cook
Executive Director
National Renderers Association

"Members can make a difference by their participation in NIAA because the ability to influence policies and decisions that benefit animal agriculture is tremendous. The more you put into it, the more you get out."
Kevin Maher
President
GlobalVetLink, LC

"The opportunity for continuing education through NIAA, I think, is an interesting and exciting concept. In my capacity as association executive, and specifically related in agriculture and the agribusiness field, there aren’t a lot of opportunities for that type of education. So, I am excited that this is a direction NIAA is taking and I hope to take advantage of that."
R. Scott Stuart
President and Chief Executive Officer
National Livestock Producers Association

"If we try to live in our own world and make decisions based on a small amount of input, the decisions may come faster but the quality of output is not as good. I see NIAA as being essentially a forum where different groups involved in livestock production can come together to resolve issues that really take input and discussion from all segments of industry and NIAA is where that happens."
Jon Caspers
National Pork Producers Council

"What NIAA has always done so well and will continue to do so well is communication. They are the communicator back to agriculture but, more and more, back to government and to the consumer. This becomes very important that we have our viewpoint and that we can share it with the world."
Donald Lein, D.V.M., Ph.D.
Professor Emeritus
Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine

"I think there is less political involvement at NIAA than any other organization that you can belong to. We all seem to get down to the essential issues and the problems at hand, and I like that."
Nancy Robinson
Vice President, Government & Industry Affairs
Livestock Marketing Association

"I think NIAA has begun a new era in agriculture and we have an opportunity to do this together. Building consensus among many groups is going to be a great opportunity for us all."
Jim Fraley
Associate Director of Commodity Activities
Illinois Farm Bureau
