Monty Henderson, president/COO of George’s Inc., and secretary of the U.S. Poultry & Egg Harold E. Ford Foundation, presented a check of $19,037 to the Department of Poultry Science on Nov. 20. The gift is to support student recruiting efforts and programs.

In the past, funds from the Harold E. Ford Foundation have been used to produce recruitment materials, publications and an interactive CD. The money is also used to help support the Poultry Science Youth Conference, a major recruitment event each summer.

Gary Davis, undergraduate recruiter for the department, said, “The Department is fortunate to receive the support of the Harold E. Ford Foundation. It enables us to inform teachers, parents and students about the vast opportunities in Poultry Science careers.  It also provides the means to communicate our story with quality publications, electronic media and activities.”

The Harold E. Ford Foundation was founded in 1995 and has disbursed nearly $1 million dollars to poultry science departments across the nation.
