Members of the American Boer Goat Association,

On Thursday, November 10, 2022, the ABGA Board of Directors received and accepted Kathryn Carruth’s resignation as Executive Director of the ABGA. Katie will continue to assist ABGA for several weeks as we go through this transition phase. We wish her all the best in her future endeavors and are thankful for her service for the past 20 months.

We, the Board of Directors of the American Boer Goat Association, are working to navigate this change and bring about a new and better era for our association. The future success of our association and the general membership is the absolute focus of this current Board of Directors.

There are nine new and six veteran board members committed to our members, office staff, and the progression of our association. We are volunteer-driven and committed to providing better outcomes for our association and the members that we represent every day. We also have a committed office staff that has completely reworked our systems and is performing at the highest level for our members. We are thankful for their hard work every day.

As always, if you have any questions, concerns, or comments, please reach out to your regional director. We are here for our members and are working together toward an age of transparency and progress.

We hope to bring forward an age of transparency in the American Boer Goat Association and provide a safe, family environment for our membership. The future success of our association and the general membership are the absolute focus of this current Board of Directors.
