"I'm honored to join my fellow farmers and help create a better future for dairy," said Paul Rovey, a farmer from Glendale, Ariz., who was re-elected chairman of DMI. "The board and elected officers represent the true partnership nationwide to fund, govern and lead the dairy checkoff program."

The 37-member NDB, formed in May 1984 under the authority of the Dairy Production Stabilization Act of 1983, carries out coordinated promotion and research programs to help build demand, and expand domestic and international markets for dairy products.



UDIA officers elected were:
