On
May 4, 1906, the Canadian Aberdeen Angus Breeders Association was official
incorporated in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Since that time over 100 years ago,
hundreds of people have walked through the doors of wherever the official
headquarters have been set – from Brandon to Calgary to Guelph and Regina,
before finally finding its way back to Calgary in 1995 – and all are greeted by
faces that shift over time but nonetheless possess a passion for the Angus
breed and for helping breeders find their ideal footing. A pinnacle part of the
CAA network is the CEO, whose primary job is to see to the success of his or
her staff, Board of Directors, members and community. Our current CEO, Rob
Smith, has been with us since July 2011 (which just so happens to be exactly
105 years after the first Annual General meeting of the Canadian Aberdeen angus
Breeders Association). We are lucky enough to have Rob in person to see and
consult, but the same cannot be said for all past CEOs. We are missing some
photographs of past CEOs, and need your help. If you happen to have any
photographs or artworks of the below mentioned CEOs from Angus history, please
contact Canadian Angus Foundation Archival Intern Kiani Evans at kevans@cdnangus.ca.
