Salisbury, Md. – At this year’s IPPE (International Production & Processing Expo) four Perdue associates were honored with the Young Leaders Under 30 Award at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. IPPE is the world’s largest annual poultry and egg, meat and animal food industry event of its kind and is one of the 30 largest trade shows in the United States with more than 30,000 gathered for the three-day event.
Those recognized from Perdue Farms were:
- Bailey Good – Flock Advisor – Macon, Georgia
- Morgan Mallow – Flock Advisor – Moorefield, West Virginia
- Patrick Giunco – Flock Advisor – Knightdale, North Carolina
- Sara Deason – Hatchery Manager – Lincoln, Delaware
The “30 Under 30” program winners are employees at companies that are directly involved in the production and/or processing of poultry and meat or the production of animal or poultry feed and are active members of either the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association, the American Feed Industry Association or the North American Meat Institute.
“I could not be prouder of our Perdue associates and their efforts to help solidify our company as the most trusted name in food and agriculture products. These young professionals bring fresh perspectives and dynamic energy to Perdue Farms that is driving growth opportunities for our business,” said Kevin McAdams, Perdue Farms Chief Executive Officer.
Applicants were judged by a panel of industry professionals, in part, on a short essay on what primary challenges they believe their industry will face in the next five years and how the industry should address those issues. This is the 12th year that IPPE has recognized the leaders of tomorrow with the Young Leaders Under 30 Award.
