Patrick Boyle President and CEO Dear AMI Member, For more than a century, the American Meat Institute (AMI) has strived to provide effective representation in Washington before Congress and the regulatory agencies. We also speak on behalf of the industry to the media, professional organizations and in other public forums. Our experts manage a comprehensive research agenda, advocate for free and open trade, and organize a host of educational and networking opportunities. While many things have changed in the 104 years since our founding, there are some constants too, like our commitment to represent this great industry of ours honestly and effectively in Washington DC. We are proud that the Institute is the industry’s oldest and largest trade association. Our longevity and our size can be attributed to the diversity amongst our member companies. While we are fortunate to represent many large, multi-national companies, our greatest strength and political credibility comes from our many small and medium sized companies who call AMI their association. In fact, 80 percent of our members are actually small and medium sized companies. We believe the industry benefits when diverse companies with unique ideas and expertise collaborate to make our industry better and our Institute stronger. This AMI membership directory is designed to help connect you with AMI staff and with others in the industry who have also chosen to invest in the Institute. We believe that we succeed when you succeed. Please let us know how we may be of service to you.
