IBBA Announces Board Election Results
The International Brangus® Breeders Association (IBBA) board election ballots are tallied. New directors will officially be inducted to serve on IBBA’s Board of Directors at IBBA’s Annual Meeting on Friday, March 2, in Houston, Texas.
The election was for open positions in areas four, six, seven and eight. The deadline for ballot submission was Dec. 31, 2017.
Area four’s election resulted in a tie vote between candidates Darrel Law and Davy Sneed. Therefore, as required by IBBA’s Bylaws in article III, section II, a run-off election must be completed.
