Connor Named to Head NCFC
Published Monday, January 05, 2009 at 04:52 AM
Conner takes more than 25 years of national and state government, agricultural and trade association experience to his new position. NCFC Chairman Bill Davisson said - we were extremely impressed with Mr. Conner’s career accomplishments, the depth and breadth of his governmental and industry experience, as well as his keen understanding of agricultural policy, trade issues and the business challenges facing U.S. agriculture.
Conner has served as Deputy Secretary for the US Department of Agriculture since May of 2005. Late in 2007 Conner served as acting Secretary, following the resignation of Mike Johanns. Conner will begin his new position as president and CEO of NCFC on or about February 1, 2009.
