Got time to learn why? Well, just ask Brandon Johnson, president of the association, and the Hagen Johnson Group, who has helped grow IMH A's membership during his tenure, and last year oversaw the debut of a new Leadership Summit, which will hold its second meeting Sept. 26-27 at the Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. "Our mission is to better the milk-hauling ecosystem, and that includes the milk haulers, but also the plants, the equipment, the regulations, and our communities," he said. "So from all those perspectives, the focus is on coming together to address the challenges we're facing today-and look ahead to the opportunities of tomorrow." The association's 2023 Annual Convention in April drew 270 attendees to Chandler, Arizona, with a symmetrical split of milk haulers and allied members, such as vendors and cooperative shippers. IMHA presented fleet safety awards, provided tours of area dairy plants, and spotlighted critical industry topics and technologies. The next Annual Convention is April 21-23, 2024, in Charlotte, North Carolina. The convention also provides networking, vendors displaying new technology and equipment, education and regulatory sessions, and endless connections. One attendee from the convention said "This is the first convention I have been to where everyone was friendly and willing to talk about their business. I enjoyed it all. Thank you!" |
