Do you know someone who should be recognized for their extraordinary work in the dairy industry? World Dairy Expo is accepting nominations for the 2024 Expo Recognition Awards now through February 1, 2024.
Producers, organizations, academic staff, and others involved in the dairy industry are encouraged to nominate individuals to recognize their outstanding work and dedication to the dairy industry.
Qualifications for each of the three awards being presented include:
Dairy Producer(s) of the Year: Presented to an active dairy producer whose primary source of income is derived from his or her dairy enterprise. This producer excels in efficient production and breeding quality dairy animals while incorporating progressive management practices. The award recipient’s community, government, marketing, and World Dairy Expo involvement will also be considered.
Industry Person(s) of the Year: This award is presented in recognition of an individual’s excellence in research, development, education, marketing, manufacturing, or other fields, which are a part of an industry or institution that provides goods or services to the dairy industry. A resident of the United States, this award recipient may be an active dairy producer whose primary achievements are industry-focused.
International Person(s) of the Year: Living primarily outside of the United States, the individual who receives this award will be recognized for his or her contribution to international research, development, education, marketing, manufacturing, or other fields, which are a part of an industry or institution that provides goods or services to the international dairy industry.
The individuals selected to receive these prestigious awards will be recognized on Wednesday, October 2, during World Dairy Expo 2024 at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wisconsin.
