Washington, D.C. — The 카지노 룰렛 전략 Trade Association (OTA) is thrilled to announce the new leadership team of co-CEOs Tom Chapman and Matthew Dillon. Reflecting the expanding vision of the trade association and the increasing opportunities and potential in the 카지노 룰렛 전략 sector, Chapman and Dillon will combine their deep sets of expertise and seasoned perspectives to continue to push 카지노 룰렛 전략 forward.  

“Tom and Matthew are truly a dynamic duo with a history of success as well as partnership, and they are poised and eager to accelerate the work of the trade association and to help us reach our strategic objectives,” said Tracy Favre, President of OTA’s Board of Directors. “Moving to co-CEOs broadens OTA's ability to effectively represent our members in the growing and evolving 카지노 룰렛 전략 sector.  The timing is right for this change, and the entire Board of Directors is supportive of this evolution in our leadership."  

카지노 룰렛 전략Chapman and Dillon bring an impressive depth and breadth of leadership to OTA. Collectively they have more than four decades of experience in 카지노 룰렛 전략 across the industry, including farming, seed sector, supply chain, consumer packaged goods, certification and regulation and government affairs. With the upcoming announcements of the first USDA 카지노 룰렛 전략 Marketing Development grant recipients, the trade association’s continued work as a lead cooperator for USDA’s Transition to 카지노 룰렛 전략 Partnership Program, and a Farm Bill worth fighting for, Chapman and Dillon’s leadership will ensure OTA is well positioned to support the continued growth and improvement of the 카지노 룰렛 전략 sector. 

Chapman joined the trade association in April 2022 as CEO, bringing 20 years of industry experience with expertise in policy, 카지노 룰렛 전략 certification and 카지노 룰렛 전략 supply chains. Starting his career at Quality Assurance International, he went on to lead the management of supply chains at Kinder’s Premium Sauces and Seasonings, Clif Bar & Company and Numi 카지노 룰렛 전략 Tea. As OTA’s co-CEO, Chapman will lead the association’s regulatory and technical affairs work, oversee the development of association programs and products and will be responsible for operations and financial management. 

카지노 룰렛 전략Dillon was raised in an agricultural family and community in Nebraska and has held diverse roles in 카지노 룰렛 전략 food and farming, working from seed to shelf. He headed Abundant Life Seed, one of the first certified seed companies in the U.S. and founded 카지노 룰렛 전략 Seed Alliance. He worked for over ten years at Clif Bar & Company in several roles including Vice President of Impact and Government Affairs. He most recently served as Chief Sustainability Officer for 카지노 룰렛 전략 poultry producer Farmer Focus. As co-CEO for OTA, Dillon will oversee the organization’s public relations, policy agenda, member engagement and fundraising.   

“It's a privilege to co-lead OTA with Matt Dillion, particularly at this pivotal moment for the 카지노 룰렛 전략. Our collective dedication to advancing the 카지노 룰렛 전략 marketplace and our deep-rooted trade experience position us well to drive the 카지노 룰렛 전략 sector forward. I look forward to leveraging our expertise to elevate OTA's initiatives, foster growth in the marketplace, and champion the benefits of 카지노 룰렛 전략 for a healthier, more sustainable future,” said Chapman.  

“I’m thrilled to be stepping into this role. There’s an incredible opportunity to improve the integrity, relevance, and value of 카지노 룰렛 전략 for our farmers, brands, consumers, and planet. OTA can continue to lead and convene its diverse members to expand that potential. I look forward to working with Tom, the rest of the staff, our members, and the broader community of organizations working to improve the future of food and farming,” said Dillon. 

More people than ever are eating 카지노 룰렛 전략 food and using 카지노 룰렛 전략 products, and the U.S. 카지노 룰렛 전략 sector has never been bigger. 카지노 룰렛 전략 sales in the U.S. in 2022 totaled a record .6 billion, as consumers are increasingly attracted to 카지노 룰렛 전략 because of its environmental, nutritional and social benefits. 카지노 룰렛 전략 food sales, at almost billion, broke through billion for the first time, hitting another high-level mark for the robust 카지노 룰렛 전략 sector.  

As the leading voice for 카지노 룰렛 전략 trade in the United States, OTA has worked to strengthen 카지노 룰렛 전략 businesses and promote 카지노 룰렛 전략 agriculture for 30 years. The association represents more than 10,000 카지노 룰렛 전략 businesses across 50 states. Its members represent the entire 카지노 룰렛 전략 supply chain, including growers, shippers, processors, certifiers, farmers' associations, distributors, importers, exporters, consultants, retailers and others. 

The association’s expanding activities reflect the forward momentum and growth of the 카지노 룰렛 전략 sector: its increasingly strong and effective advocacy for 카지노 룰렛 전략 on Capitol Hill and in government agencies, the building out of business services offered to members, the creation of new member councils and task forces to better represent emerging 카지노 룰렛 전략 categories, the inclusion of 카지노 룰렛 전략 in climate-smart discussions and solutions, and the trade association’s growing diversity and entrepreneurship program.   

“We all know the benefits of 카지노 룰렛 전략, but it’s time to reinvigorate that conversation with consumers, farmers, business leaders, policymakers, and advocates working to improve the food system for people and the planet. I am confident that Tom and Matthew working together at the trade association’s helm will enable OTA to best support its members and ensure the continued growth of 카지노 룰렛 전략,” said Favre.
