NCPC is pleased to announce the results of our recent board of directors elections held in District 3 and District 7.
District 3
Kim Griffin from Liberty, NC, will be returning to serve another term on the NCPC board of directors. Kim will be the only board member from her district which represents ten counties, stretching from Alexander County all the way to Wake County. Kim is a graduate of NC State and owner of KLS Swine LLC, a 1200 multiplier farrow-to-finish operation.
District 7
District 7 is made up of 13 counties in Eastern NC and include some of the largest hog-producing counties in the country. Since representation is based on production numbers, this district has nine members on the NCPC board. Only four of those seats were up for election.
Kenny Bass will be returning for another term on the board. Kenny has worked at Hog Slat for 17 years but the pork business is his second career. His first career was in education, spending 20 years as a math teacher, basketball coach, and principal!
Dawn Williamson will also be returning to the board. Dawn is employed by Murphy-Brown, LLC, as a management systems manager. But, her day job is not her only connection to the pork industry. Dawn is also a pork producer, co-owning two sow farms in Sampson County with her husband.
Making his debut on the NCPC board of directors is Mark Daughtry! Mark has been an employee at Prestage Farms for 26 years and is a graduate of NC State. Mark also has an 800 sow farrow to wean operation as well as nine contract finishing floors. He was the 2009 recipient of the NC Pork Council Environmental Steward Award and was only one of four producers in the country to recieve that same designation from the National Pork Board in 2010.
Henry Faison is also coming back to serve another term on the board. Born and raised in Clinton, NC, Henry is a graduate of Mt. Olive College and has been employed at GIS/Perfect Pig as an inventory coordinator and environmental director since 1994. Prior to that position, Henry managed his family farm, overseeing around 21,000 swine finishing spaces and a 42,000-head turkey operation.
