Steve Murphy, the chief executive officer of the National Pork Board since 2001, has submitted his resignation to the board.
Lynn Harrison, a pork producer from Elk Mound., Wis., and president of the 15-member National Pork Board, said the board reluctantly accepted the resignation but has asked Murphy to continue until the board can find a successor.
That process could take up to a year, Harrison said.
According to Harrison the list of some of the National Pork Board’s successes under Murphy’s leadership includes: Getting the organisation to embrace anticipatory issues management; protecting the future of the brand „Pork. The Other White Meat“; reconnecting producers with the idea of working together through shared contributions and shared vision to accomplish goals they could not achieve alone; developing a staff that is accountable to both producers and to sound business principles.
