Okla Ag Groups Express Support For Oklahoma Beef Council's Handling of Embezzlement Discovery
Fri, 06 Jan 2017 15:20:13 CST
As Oklahoma agriculture organizations, we wish to express our support for the Oklahoma Beef Council board of directors and staff. They have briefed us on the steps they have taken to address the matter of embezzlement by former employee. It is a highly unfortunate situation, but we are confident that the Oklahoma Beef Council has taken swift and aggressive action to correct this matter, seek justice and move forward with their mission of enhancing beef demand for producers.
The Oklahoma Beef Council is cooperating fully with authorities to ensure justice is delivered and restitution is sought. We appreciate the bravery and integrity of the Oklahoma Beef Council board of directors in reporting the fraud to authorities and taking the steps necessary to ensure justice is done for Oklahoma beef producers. This is a serious matter, but we must not let this distract us from continuing the good work of the Oklahoma Beef Council on behalf of beef producers-from investing in export markets to promoting US beef to educating medical professionals about beef nutrition and other industry issues.
We look forward to a successful resolution of the criminal investigation and will continue to support the Oklahoma Beef Council and the Beef Checkoff as they work through this.
