Montana Stockgrowers Announces Northwestern Energy Top Hand Partnership
Helena, Mont. – Montana Stockgrowers Association (MSGA) is excited to announce its second year of partnership with NorthWestern Energy as an “Official Top Hand Club Sponsor.” Thanks to Northwestern Energy’s support, the top recruiting MSGA member this year will win a trip to the 2016 Cattle Industry Convention in San Diego, California.
The Top Hand Club is a part of Stockgrowers’ Affiliate Mentorship Program, a renewed effort to strengthen local affiliate groups and individual ranching members across the state. The Individual Top Hand recognition will be awarded to the Stockgrowers member that recruits the highest number of new memberships for MSGA within the current recruitment year, ending November 30.
Thanks to the partnership with NorthWestern Energy, the top prize for this year’s Individual Top Hand will be a trip to San Diego, California for the 2016 Cattle Industry Convention on January 27-30. This is a great opportunity for Montana ranchers to learn more about the cattle industry at the national level and to network with ranchers and industry members from all regions of the country.
Last year’s Individual Top Hand winner was Kyle Middlemist of Dixon, Montana. Kyle attended the 2015 Cattle Industry Convention in San Antonio, Texas this past February.
The Top Hand Club is the Montana Stockgrowers Association’s “member-recruit-a-member” program, which has developed to recognize those Local Affiliate groups and individual members across the state who continually give their time and effort to help increase the strength of their state organization, the Montana Stockgrowers Association.
The 2015 winner will be announced at MSGA’s Annual Convention to be held Dec. 3-5 at the MetraPark in Billings. To learn more about MSGA’s 2015 Top Hand Club and to find information on membership programs and benefits, please visit the Top Hand Club page on our website.
