WASHINGTON – The North American Meat Association (NAMA) and Executive Director Philip H. Kimball announced that he has stepped down after eight years of service to the North American Meat Processors Association (NAMP) and NAMA.
Kimball became NAMP's Executive Director in 2007. When NAMP merged with the National Meat Association (NMA) in 2012, Kimball became NAMA's Executive Director, working closely with CEO Barry Carpenter.
"It is rewarding to bring added value to this dynamic industry," Kimball said, "and I look forward to continuing to make a contribution in a new capacity."
At NAMP, Kimball advocated member interests on food safety issues at USDA's Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), especially on the E. coli issues facing further processors.
