The Executive Committee of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association says Colin Woodall will serve as the group’s new Chief Executive Officer.

Woodall was named to the post this week after an extensive national search.

He most recently was the Vice President of Government Affairs and managed NCBA’s efforts in Washington, D.C., for more than ten years.

He first joined NCBA in 2004 and was instrumental in ensuring the interests of NCBA members and the beef community were well-represented in DC.

 

“Colin has served NCBA members for 15 years, and in that time, he’s done a great deal for beef producers everywhere,” says NCBA President Jennifer Houston.

“Much of his work and many of the victories registered by NCBA in Washington are the result of his ability to build coalitions and bring people together.”

 

Ethan Lane was chosen to replace Woodall as the Vice President of Government Affairs.

Most recently, Lane was the Executive Director of the Public Lands Council and NCBA Federal Lands.

Houston says Lane has been a “driving force in many of NCBA’s most important policy wins.”
