PA BEEF COUNCIL & CATTLEMEN'S ASSOCIATION SEEK PA BEEF AMBASSADOR CANDIDATES
The Pennsylvania Beef Council (PBC) and the Pennsylvania Cattlemen's Association (PCA) are seeking candidates for the 2012 Pennsylvania Beef Ambassador Contest. This year for the first time we will be conducting both a senior and a junior division. The senior division is specifically seeking young adults, ages 17-20, who are interested in becoming an Ambassador for the Pennsylvania cattle industry. The junior division's objective is to promote a stronger interest and clearer understanding of the many aspects of the beef industry, its values and virtues to youth ages 12-16 years old. The 2012 competition will be held on March 22, 2011 at Penn State University. The contest will begin at 2 p.m., with the winners announced at the 2012 PCA Awards Banquet.
The Pennsylvania Beef Ambassador selected in the senior division will represent the PBC, PCA, and affiliate cattlemen's organizations at agricultural and consumer events across the state as Pennsylvania's beef spokesperson. At the end of his or her one-year reign, the winner of the state competition will receive a $500.00 scholarship. The Beef Ambassador contest is designed to identify an individual who will educate consumers and youth about beef nutrition, food safety, and industry stewardship practices.
For more information and further details regarding program guidelines and the application, please contact Nichole Hockenberry, Pennsylvania Beef Council at 1-888-423-3372 or via email for further information.
