Six State Organizations Launch the Southeast Pork Alliance to Strengthen Regional Industry

Six state pork organizations officially announced the formation and launch of the Southeast Pork Alliance, a producer-led regional partnership designed to strengthen the pork industry through collaboration, shared resources, advocacy and innovation.

The Southeast Pork Alliance brings together the following organizations:

Kentucky Pork Producers Association

Tennessee Pork Producers Association

Mississippi Pork Producers Association

Alabama Pork Producers

Georgia Pork Producers Association

Florida Pork Improvement Group

Though they will be united under the Southeast Pork Alliance, each participating organization will remain an independent state association with its own board of directors, governance/membership, and identity. Each state’s board of directors voted to adopt the alliance and become a founding member. The alliance will be governed by a joint council consisting of two representatives from each participating state, elected by their respective state boards, the alliance said in a release.
