The upcoming Conference offers an excellent opportunity for our industry, its allied members, and friends to come together and strategize for the 2025 year. It is a unique event dedicated to the California broiler, turkey, squab, duck, gamebird, and other related poultry industries. Once again, we are excited to announce a golf tournament on Wednesday, September 11th at the Pacific Grove Golf Links golf course. All tournament proceeds go to the Western Poultry and Egg Scholarship Foundation.

Every year we aim to bring in experts who can educate our members about the state of the poultry industry, as well as the regulations and laws that could either challenge or benefit us. This year, we once again feature political media expert and writer Dan Walters, retired from the Sacramento Bee, but now a featured writer with Cal Matters. Dan will present his views on the political issues facing California and what to expect in the coming year. He will also touch on the upcoming election.

Keynote this year, and just confirmed this week, will be Jenny Lester Moffitt, USDA Undersecretary of Under Secretary of Agriculture for Marketing and Regulatory Programs. Undersecretary Moffitt had served as Deputy Secretary of the California Department of Food and Agriculture. Moffitt is a friend of agriculture and we are looking forward to hearing from her.

Leslee Oden, the new President of the National Turkey Federation, will discuss the NTF’s efforts to make turkey more popular and their work on finding assistance with HPAI.
National Chicken Council Vice President of Governmental Affairs, Harrison Kircher, leads an effort in Washington, DC to help the chicken industry beat back overwhelming regulations. He will review those most important to industry.

In addition to the enriching sessions, we are excited to announce that The Killing Dueling Pianos again this year will entertain us after the banquet, promising an engaging experience for all attendees.

We look forward to seeing you in Monterey!
