NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR HOG BOARD

* Agriculture and Forestry [to May 2015]
The Prince Edward Island Hog Commodity Marketing Board has announced that Tim Seeber has been hired to fill the position of executive director, left vacant the end of January when Bob Harding resigned to take a position with the Potato Marketing Board. Seeber comes to the position with over 30 years experience in the industry, most recently as plant manager of NOFG PEI.

As the plant is presently operating under the control of a receiver, Seeber will continue in his current position with NOFG PEI for the foreseeable future. In the interim, any concerns or questions should continue to be directed to the Hog Board office and either Seeber or one of the directors will respond as soon as possible.
