AMI, NAMA to Merge Effective January 1, 2015

12/22/2014

Picture
The American Meat Institute (AMI) and the North American Meat Association (NAMA) will join forces and bring a stronger collective voice to the meat industry starting January 1, 2015. The groups will become the North American Meat Institute (NAMI).

Barry Carpenter, originally of NAMA, will lead the new North American Meat Institute as interim president and CEO for up to three years. Jim Hodges, who was originally AMI’s Executive Vice President and has been serving as AMI’s Interim president and CEO this year, will retire at the end of December.

The groups have similar missions of providing advocacy and monitoring legislation and regulatory issues for the meat industry. In April, AMI’s membership unanimously voted for the merger.

NAMI will continue to be based in Washington, DC, just as the groups have been through the years. Many staff members have been retained to work with the association. There are also offices in California, Canada and Mexico.

NAMI will have nearly 700 members following the merger. Its new website is www.MeatInstitute.org.
