Meet the Keynote Speakers

Our dynamic keynote speakers will share what’s next for milk pricing, how to successfully manage multiple enterprises, and ways to build a collaborative culture for generational businesses.

Reaching for the Gold: An Inspiring Story From U.S. Olympian Elle Purrier St. Pierre – During a live, one-on-one interview with Elle, she will share her journey from dairy farmer to U.S. Olympian, how her experience growing up on the farm has impacted her athletic career, and why she is using her newfound platform to educate consumers on the dairy industry.

What’s Next for Milk Pricing: FMMO Reform with Dr. Marin Bozic – Dr. Bozic plans to have an honest conversation about how the current federal order system is built around a declining category – fluid milk sales – without taking into account increasing categories such as export markets. He will share research and ideas for FMMO reform and what the next 10 years might look like in the dairy industry.

Growing With Multiple Enterprises: Producer Showcase with Dale and Clay Hemminger – During the Producer Showcase, the Hemminger family will share their insights and model for success as they manage multiple enterprises and a generational family business – which includes a high-production 1,500 cow, 100% robotic dairy and growing quality forages, grain and vegetables.

Defining Culture and Investing in People: A Family Business Showcase with Herr’s Potato Chips – With over 1,500 employees throughout the mid-Atlantic region, Herr seeks to steadily grow the family business while remaining true to the company’s founding principles. He will share how he is building a culture that cultivates a spirit of collaboration and appreciation for every individual on the team.
