LANSING, Mich., Nov. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Neogen Corporation announced today that Richard T. Crowder, Ph.D., was elected to Neogen’s Board of Directors at the company’s recent annual meeting of shareholders.
“Since our founding in 1982, a strength of Neogen has been the quality of individuals on our Board of Directors, and the addition of Dr. Crowder certainly continues that tradition,” said James Herbert, Neogen’s chief executive officer and chairman. “Our Board provides valuable oversight, advice and support to senior management, not just during scheduled meetings, but throughout the year as we respond to the rapidly changing business environment.”
“With a wealth of experience in agriculture, international trade, and all aspects of the food industry, there are few people as qualified as Dr. Crowder to serve on our Board,” said Lon Bohannon, Neogen’s president. “We are pleased to have a person of Dr. Crowder’s caliber to help Neogen build upon the success that we have achieved in our first 27 years in business.”
