Mentor Recognition Program
The American Meat Science Association (AMSA) mentor recognition program gives members a unique avenue to recognize the professional mentors or colleagues who have influenced their careers. The program allows such members to make a contribution designated for special activities in the name of the honored person.
R. C. Pollock
A fundraising drive for establishing a mentorship in the name of R.C. Pollock was started in December, 2006. As President of the National Live Stock and Meat Board, R. C. Pollock was instrumental in the founding of the Reciprocal Meat Conference and the American Meat Science Association.
The funds raised from the mentorship recognition will be used to endow the AMSA R.C. Pollock Award, the highest honor that AMSA bestows.. The mentorship is being coordinated by Larry Borchert (llborche@facstaff.wisc.edu).
The fundraising goal for this mentorship is $15,000. If you would like to help recognize R.C. Pollock by contributing to the mentorship, make a donation online or contact AMSA Executive Director Thomas Powell (tpowell@meatscience.org) for more information.
