The 2023 United Suffolk Sheep Association Annual Meeting will be virtual via Zoom. The board decided to move forward with a virtual annual meeting again this year as they received positive feedback from the membership after last year’s meeting, support through the Needs Assessment and feels it’s the best way to allow all members of the association to participate.
We encourage all members to join us on Monday, November 27th at 7:30pm central via Zoom. Please note you do not need a computer to join, you can call in!! Be sure to save this connection to join – this will also be posted on the USSA website – www.suffolks.org.
