Please join the U.S. Grains Council (USGC) in bidding farewell and congratulations to Erick Erickson as he leaves the Council for retirement.<\/p>\n

Erickson has been a dedicated employee of the Council since 1984 and has served in a variety of capacities including director of global strategies; executive director for membership, administration and communication; director of planning and evaluation; and vice president on two occasions.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Erick has always been the one to ask the challenging questions,\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd said USGC President and CEO Tom Sleight. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153He was always able to put things in perspective and see things through a bigger lens in terms of our programs and day-to-day decisions. That type of perspective is special to an organization.\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd<\/p>\n

Erickson was recently awarded a lifetime achievement award by the Council\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Board of Directors, a very rare honor for a staff member.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Erick has made many significant contributions to the Council during his tenure,\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd said USGC Past Chairman Ron Gray. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153His strategic insight into long-term planning has been invaluable to us and helped make our organization successful.\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd<\/p>\n

Erickson’s last day with the Council is Friday, Aug. 7. <\/p>\n
