A form to nominate delegates to the American Angus Association’s 132nd Convention of Delegates was mailed to everyone listed the last week of March as an active life or regular member of the Association. Nominees could be any active life or regular member whose farm or ranch is located in the same state as the nominator.

After the completed forms were returned to the Association office in Saint Joseph, Mo., ballots were prepared and sent to members in each voting district. Properly executed ballots returned to the Association by the June 30 deadline were counted.

The following is a complete listing of delegates and alternates to the 2015 Convention of Delegates of the American Angus Association, to be conducted during the Angus Means Business National Convention & Trade Show Nov. 3-5 in Overland Park, Kan.
