Ryder Lee has been named the new chief executive officer of the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association.
Lee is from Saskatchewan and has been spent the last nine years with the CCA in Ottawa as manager of federal-provincial relations.
He has worked as the staff representative on committees for domestic agriculture policy, regulations and animal care. Since 2010, he represented the CCA at the National Farm Animal Care Council and played a key role in the renewal of the beef code of practice.
His hiring coincides with the move of the SCA office from Saskatoon to Regina.
Chair Bill Jameson said Lee is an excellent fit for the organization , which represents all beef producers in the province.
“He brings experience with many of the issues of importance to Saskatchewan cattle producers, contacts within the industry in Canada and abroad and he is from a Saskatchewan ranch, so he has that personal connection to the industry,” Jameson said.
