You always see the awards at the show but there’s work to do long before we get there. Let’s start with nominations. It’s time to think about who should be nominated for the World Dairy Expo recognition awards.

Outstanding leaders from across the international dairy industry are being sought for World Dairy Expo’s annual recognition awards. “We’re encouraging people to nominate someone who has demonstrated exceptional leadership,” says general manager, Tom McKittrick. “Recognizing these individuals during World Dairy Expo showcases the leadership present in the dairy industry and adds to the excitement of Expo.” Nominations will be accepted through February 1, 2007 in the four following categories:

Industry Person of the Year, Dairyman of the Year, Dairy Woman of the Year, International Person of the Year

Individuals will be honored at the Dinner with the Stars during World Dairy Expo, October 2-6, 2007, in Madison, Wisconsin, USA. Nominations are due February 1, 2007. Official applications are available online at www.worlddairyexpo.com , through the World Dairy Expo office by calling 608-224-6455 or via email at wde@wdexpo.com.
