Hello Poultry Science friends and colleagues. It is my honor to serve as your President this 2020-2021 year. We have many exciting things to look forward to, and I am excited to have the opportunity to work with the PSA staff and Board to ensure a successful year for our organization. I invite you to take a look at my 2020 PSA President’s Welcome where I highlight the success of this year’s first virtual meeting, exciting plans for 2020-2021, and my goal as your president. It is a great honor to serve in this capacity and give back everything the Poultry Science Association has provided to me both personally and professionally.

PSA President

The Poultry Science Association had a great first-ever Virtual Annual Meeting! More than 1,000 individuals registered for the meeting from 47 different countries. The average attendee spent over 22 hours in the virtual platform, and there were nearly 4,000 views of symposium presentations.

Thank you to everyone who contributed in making the event a success, and a special thank you to the 22 sponsors who supported the event financially, despite the current COVID-19 pandemic creating uncertain times. We are already looking forward to our next Annual Meeting in Omaha, NE on July 19-22, 2021. We hope to see you all there!

Please note, registrants can still login to the Virtual 2020 Annual Meeting platform to view content until August 21, 2020.
