On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Idaho Grower Shipper Association, I am excited to introduce the new President of the Association. He will be joining us the first week of February. Please take some time to come meet Shawn Boyle at the IGSA office on February 8th from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. We will be providing delicious refreshments for your enjoyment.
Shawn D. Boyle was recently selected to serve as President of the Idaho Grower Shippers Association. Shawn brings with him an impressive resume developed in the heart of potato country. Shawn was born and raised in Shelley, Idaho. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management from Brigham Young University-Idaho and a Juris Doctorate degree from the University of Idaho.
For the last five years, as a licensed attorney, Shawn has independently managed the in-house legal affairs of multiple companies in the petroleum, transportation and farming industries including Brad Hall & Associates, Inc. which is one of the largest petroleum wholesale distributors in the western United States. Through this experience, he has developed a strong understanding of the challenges effecting Idaho businesses operating in a national and global economy.
Shawn also has experience in the legislative arena. During the 2011 Idaho State Legislative Session, he served as an extern for the Senate Majority Leadership. In this capacity, he was able to go behind the scenes and witness the internal workings of a legislative body. He looks forward to serving as an advocate for the potato industry both in Idaho and in Washington, D.C.
In addition to his professional pursuits, Shawn enjoys coaching youth sports teams, participating in triathlons, and teaching his three kids the secrets of gardening.
Thank you for your participation in the IGSA and we look forward to seeing you on the 8th of February.
Jonathan Webster
Chairman of the Board
