The Colorado Corn Promotion Council is pleased to announce that three directors have been elected to serve in leadership positions including President, Vice President/Treasurer and Secretary. The elected members are as follows:
- President: Matt Mulch, Burlington, CO
- Vice President/Treasurer: Jessica Brophy, Yuma, CO
- Secretary: Alex Eckhardt, La Salle, CO
This is Matt’s second term as President. Jessica served as Vice President/Treasurer last year, and Alex is new to the leadership team. All three have served on the CCPC Board of Directors before.
“I am always honored to represent the corn producers of Colorado and hope to use this opportunity to see the passage of a long term farm bill. I hope to continue to use the checkoff to invest in new and novel uses for corn and continue to promote trade of corn in all forms from ethanol and DDGs to meat and animal products,” said Matt Mulch, President for the CCPC.
The Colorado Corn Promotion Council also welcomes one new and one returning director to the board. The Colorado Commissioner of Agriculture Kate Greenberg recently appointed Derek White Heckman of McClave and reappointed Jessica Brophy of Yuma, joining four others on the board. The District 3 director position is currently vacant.
The six current members include:
- Matt Mulch, Burlington, CO
- Alex Eckhardt, La Salle, CO
- Derek White Heckman, McClave, CO – New
- Jessica Brophy, Yuma, CO
- Kyle May, Stratton, CO
- Stratton Kraft, Fort Morgan, CO
The Colorado Corn Promotion Council is a statewide board that consists of seven directors. Members of the CCPC are appointed by the Colorado Commissioner of Agriculture from nominations submitted by corn producers.
