Maryland Grain Producers wishes a happy retirement and safe travels to former Executive Director, Lynne Hoot. Her retirement was celebrated at Yellowfin in Annapolis, with many of our members in attendance. Bobby Hutchison presented Lynne with an engraved compass and chart weight from Maryland Grain Producers Utilization Board to thank her for guiding them over the 25 years. Lynne received citations from the Maryland House of Delegates, Maryland Senate, and Maryland Department of Agriculture as well. She was presented with a Governor’s citation at the Maryland Association of Soil Conservation District’s annual meeting in August. Kynn and her husband Jerry hope to take full advantage of their retirement and follow another passion of hers, sailing. They will be leaving for their first trip, down the East Coast and over to Cuba in early November.
Lindsay Thompson will be undertaking the role of new Executive Director. Her experience with Lynne will allow a smooth transition of leadership. She, along with Programs and Public Relations Director, Danielle Bauer, and Administrative Assistant, Marguerite Guare, are all set up in their new office outside of Centreville. Please note the new contact information for the business. A new fax number will be forthcoming.
