New officials and board members of the Association of Commercial Shippers and Breeders were appointed at its most recent meeting. Claiborne Farm’s Walker Hancock will transition from vice president to president, Watercress Farm’s Rob Tribbett will be named vice president, and Stone Farm’s Lynn Hancock will serve as treasurer. Outgoing President Allaire Ryan will continue to serve the organization as its previous president.
The board consists of 15 members: eight from the top 20 shippers and seven from other commercial shippers and breeders. Each year, part of the board is rotated and new board members are appointed to fill those positions from among the qualified CBA members.
Scott Mallory (Scott Mallory, agent), Samantha McGreevy (Taylor Made Sales) and Caroline Wilson (SF Bloodstock) will join the board for 2023. Ryan and Walker Hancock have been appointed to another term.
Those who continue to serve are Conrad Bandoroff (Denali Stud), Carrie Brogden (Machmer Hall Sales), Neal Clarke (Atlas Farm/Bedouin Bloodstock), Pat Costello (Paramount Sales), Liz Crow (ELiTE Sales), Tommy Eastham (Legacy Bloodstock), Lynn Hancock (Stone Farm), Adrian Regan (Hunter Valley Farm), Tribbett (Watercress Farm) and Sean Tugel (Eclipse Purebred Partner).
“The CBA greatly appreciates Allaire’s work and the progress she has made during her time as president. She has taken CBA to the next level and I am delighted to continue working with her as she continues to work with her. She assumes my new position of president. I look forward to the many challenges ahead and will work hard to represent all shippers and breeders in the hope of making the sales space better for the participants,” said incoming president, Walker Hancock.
CBA is a commercial organization with more than 300 members. Association membership accounts for more than 80% of annual North American auction revenue, either as a breeder or as a consignor. The CBA acts democratically on behalf of all shippers and commercial breeders, large and small, to provide unified, constructive representation and voice regarding issues, policies and sales procedures. The Association’s initiatives are designed to encourage a fair and open market for all who breed, buy or sell Purebreds.
The association was founded in 2005 and is headquartered in Lexington. For more information, please visit www.consignorsandbreeders.com.
