Effective immediately, I am resigning my position as President and member of the Board of Directors of Holstein Canada. When I ran for presidency, my hope was the Holstein Canada board would pull together after what I felt were a tumultuous couple of years. Unfortunately, I feel the environment is not conducive to where I believe the organization should go and how it can get there. The dairy industry is rapidly changing, and we are at a time where producers need industry support and ROI on the programs they choose to invest in. My hope is we can see this wonderful industry thrive long into the future. Thank you to the members for the last 10 years I have been on the Board for this organization and especially to the members in Eastern Ontario that have fully supported me on this journey.
Sincerely,
Nancy Beerwort

En date d’aujourd’hui, je démissionne de mon poste de présidente et membre du conseil d’administration (CA)de Holstein Canada. Lorsque je me suis présentée à la présidence, mon souhait était que le CA de Holstein Canada se rallierait après avoir vécu ce que je considérais des années tumultueuses. Malheureusement, je constate que l’environnement n’est pas propice à la vision dont je pense que l’organisation devrait avoir et le chemin pour s’y rendre. L’industrie laitière évolue rapidement et nous sommes à un moment où les producteurs ont besoin du soutien de l’industrie et d’un retour sur l’investissement des programmes dans lesquels ils choisissent d’investir. Mon souhait est de voir cette merveilleuse industrie prospérer pour bien longtemps. Merci aux membres pour votre appui pendant les10 ans que je siège au conseil d’administration de l’association, avec un merci tout particulier aux membres de l’Est de l’Ontario qui m’ont pleinement soutenu dans mon cheminement.
Cordialement,
Nancy Beerwort.
