The voting delegates at the 72nd Annual Meeting of the National Association of Animal Breeders approved the bylaw amendment resolution as recommended by the Board of Directors. The amendment included modifications to the requirements for regular members as well as the method of calculating delegates to attend and vote on matters at future annual meetings.
Regular membership will be expanded as follows:
Any organization or company organized under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof, which files tax returns with the United States Department of the Treasury, and which is engaged in the production, importation, collection, processing, distribution or marketing of livestock semen in the United States of America, or in the exportation of livestock semen from the United States of America, may apply to be a voting Regular Member, and must provide with the application and thereafter as frequently as required by the Board of Directors proof of satisfactory completion of a Certified Semen Services (“CSS”) audit for all livestock semen to be produced, collected, processed, imported, or marketed in, or exported from, the United States of America.
The new membership criteria are more inclusive and will allow a wider range of companies that are involved in the business of semen production or semen marketing to apply for regular membership in NAAB, the industry trade association.
The new membership criteria went into effect on January 1, 2019. NAAB is now accepting applications for regular membership from organizations that meet the new criteria. Membership applications must be reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors.
