Joe Locke, Cristina Carmona, Tom Layne, Travis Vaughan, Roy Cansler, and Hannah Trujillo will represent Oklahoma on important policy and leadership decisions at the National Pork Industry Forum in March.

National Pork Industry Forum is just a few short weeks away when hundreds of pork producers from across the nation will gather in Orlando, Florida. Pork Forum serves as the annual business meeting for members of the National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) and the National Pork Board (NPB) with a chance for state pork leaders to discuss a variety of topics affecting the future of our industry.

Since Pork Forum includes business for both national organizations, each state has two sets of voting delegates - one set for Pork Checkoff-related business through the Pork Act and one set for public policy-related business through NPPC. This year's Oklahoma Pork Act delegates are Joe Locke, Tom Layne, and Hannah Trujillo. Our NPPC delegates for 2025 include Roy Cansler, Cristina Carmona, Travis Vaughan, Joe Locke, and Hannah Trujillo. These six delegates (two of which are serving in dual roles) will represent our state's pork industry voting on a slate of candidates to national boards and recommended changes to both organization's policies.
