Monte Reese is Retiring
Posted by Chuck – February 3rd, 2007
Monte Reese has been the COO of the Beef Board for a long time, 17 years to be exact.
He was roasted at the Beef Board banquet. Quite a few people got up to share memories of time with Monte.
Monte is retiring and this is his last convention as head of the Beef Board staff. The executive committee is going to conduct a review of staff needs before conducting a search for his replacement.
Since now Monte will have some time on his hands he was presented with some fishing poles that he can use with his grandson.
I have known Monte since he started in this position and will offer my personal thought that he’s been one of the most enjoyable people I’ve ever worked with in the industry. I don’t know of anyone who has been more passionate about the industry and who can more clearly discuss the Checkoff and its activities. I’ll miss him and I’m sure I’m not alone saying that. Good luck Monte and I hope to see you many more times in the future.
