Allen Goode was elected to represent the IBBA membership in area seven. Goode serves many IBBA committees and initiatives, as well as the International Brangus Breeders Foundation Board of Directors. In addition to his involvement in IBBA, he serves the International Red BrangusTM Breeders Association as vice president of the board, and he has served on multiple committees and in multiple leadership roles. Allen said his operation, TRIO Cattle & Genetics, has grown to become synonymous throughout the Brangus world for the highest quality Red Brangus and Brangus seedstock. Allen said he appreciates the global reach of Brangus genetics and works to promote and bring the Brangus world closer together.

Doyle Miller was re-elected to represent the IBBA membership in area eight. He is the managing partner of Miller Brangus, a registered and commercial Brangus breeding program located in Waynesboro, Tennessee. Miller Brangus, owned by E. D., Doyle and Bert Miller, has been in the cattle business for 41 years and in the registered Brangus business for 34 years.
