(NAFB) – During its annual meeting in St. Louis last week, the American Soybean Association elected the leaders who will steer the organization.

Brad Doyle of Arkansas will serve as 2022 ASA president. Doyle previously served as ASA vice president, secretary, and an at-large executive committee member. He has been on the ASA board of directors since 2017.  Immediate past president Kevin Scott of South Dakota moves to the role of ASA chairman. Former chairman Bill Gordon of Minnesota rotates off the nine-member executive committee and retires from the board.

The ASA board elected Daryl Cates of Illinois as ASA vice president, a role that puts him in line to serve as the association’s president in 2023. In addition, the board elected Caleb Ragland of Kentucky as ASA secretary and North Dakota’s Josh Gackle as treasurer. At-large members of the executive committee include Stan Born of Illinois, Minnesota’s George Goblish, Ronnie Russell of Missouri, and Scott Metzger from Ohio.
