Dr. Alan Wessler AFIA’s 2010 Member of the Year

Wessler, of Columbia, Missouri., received the honour during the annual meeting of AFIA’s Board of Directors last week.

 

He served on the AFIA Board from 2004-2007 and is in the midst of a second term, from 2008-2011. Wessler is the vice president of the feed division of MFA Incorporated.

 

The AFIA Member of the Year award is given to an individual who exhibited amazing support in helping the association achieve its goals and objectives over the previous year.

 

Wessler was honoured specifically for his many efforts as chairman of the AFIA Centennial Task Force, a position he was appointed to by AFIA President and CEO Joel G. Newman in 2008.

 

As chairman of the task force, Wessler provided untiring support and strong leadership as the association developed commemorative materials and activities to mark the 100th anniversary of service and success.
