The Ohio Beef Youth Council Leadership Team is made up of 10 passionate young leaders from across the state who are committed to representing Ohio's beef industry and serving their fellow youth. These members serve as ambassadors for the Ohio Beef Youth Council, helping plan educational events, promote leadership opportunities, connect with youth across Ohio, and advocate for the beef industry. 


Throughout their 2 year term, Leadership Team members work alongside the Ohio Cattlemen's Association and Beef Coucnil to develop programs that inspire, educate, and engage the next generation of beef industry leaders. Whether they're leading workshops, assisting at youth events, speaking on behalf of the industry, or encouraging others to get involved, each member plays an important role in shaping the future of Ohio's beef community. 


Get to know the dedicated individuals who are leading the way and making a positive impact on youth and the beef industry across Ohio.
