Indiana Association Ex to Lead Pork Board
Published Thursday, September 04, 2008 at 04:54 AM
The President of the National Pork Board, Steve Weaver, a pork producer from Elk Grove, California, says – this is a challenging time for the U.S. pork industry, but also a time of great opportunity. Weaver says - I and my fellow National Pork Board members are so excited to have someone with Chris Novak's experience and abilities to work with us in meeting those challenges and identifying opportunities on behalf of all U.S. pork producers.
Weaver said Novak will begin his National Pork Board duties October 1. He replaces Steve Murphy, who announced his resignation in January and who has continued to serve while the board searched for his replacement. Novak, who was a state FFA officer as a youth, has a bachelor's degree from Iowa State University, a law degree from the University of Iowa and an executive master's degree in business administration from Purdue University.
