USMEF Press Conference/Media Conference Call Set for Thursday, May 24

Published: May 22, 2012
The U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF) will conduct a press conference/media conference call on Thursday, May 24, from the USMEF Board of Directors Meeting and Product Showcase in New Orleans. The conference call will begin at 7:30 a.m. Eastern time (6:30 a.m. local time) at the Hilton Riverside Hotel (Warwick Room). The session will feature brief comments from USMEF officers and senior staff, including regional directors from USMEF foreign office locations. Following these remarks, questions will be taken from participating media. We will try to accommodate all questions, but must limit the call to one hour due to a busy meeting agenda.

Participants should call 1-866-519-2804 and enter passcode 770447.

If you are calling from an area that cannot access this toll-free number, please dial 1-719-234-7307 and use the same passcode.

Please note that this will not be an operator-assisted call, so please mute your phone (*6) until the question-and-answer period begins. When asking a question, please unmute your phone (also *6) and provide the panel with your name and the name of your news outlet.

Reporters are invited to attend the USMEF Board of Directors Meeting (May 23-25). The full meeting agenda is available online.
