Glen Lewis Resigns Region 16 TLBAA Director Resigns

Industry News

In a very lengthy open letter by email dated April 25, 2009 Mr. Lewis stated “I have dedicated a tremendous amount of personal funds, hours and hours of time, traveled back and forth across this country promoting these cattle for many years to the furtherance of this breed and their importance to the bovine industry.  Under the previously described conditions and directions that the board is and has taken, it is with great sadness, that to protect my considerable assets, which I have worked for these 70 years, that I feel I must resign from the TLBAA board of directors as Region 16 Director, effective immediately.”

    Would like to see Mr. Lewis’ entire letter. Doesn’t seem fair that the TLBAA Chairman’s rebuttal letter is provided but Mr. Lewis’ full letter isn’t.

    If you would like to see Mr. Lewis’ letter in it’s great lenght I would suggest that you contact him directly(his contact info is listed in the TLBAA Directory and in the Trails) and ask him to send it to you. If it had been drief and to the point instead of long and rambling I would have been able to post it.
