HAHN RE-ELECTED TO UBG BOARD OF DIRECTORS      

Two outstanding candidates were in the running for this year’s spot on the UBG Board of Directors;  Kenny Hahn, the incumbent from Planters Cooperative in Lone Wolf, Oklahoma and Kent Prickett from Farmers Grain Co. in Pond Creek, Oklahoma.  When the votes were counted on September 29 by the accounting firm of Meyer, Hoffman, & McCann, Mr. Hahn was declared the winner.  Accordingly, he retains his seat on the Board and also his position as Chairman of the Board.

United Benefit Group is governed by a five person Board, each serving a staggered five-year term.  Thus, one position comes up for election each year.  In addition to Kenny Hahn, other current board members are Jim Carlson of First Cooperative, Cherokee, Iowa; Ed Foster of All Points Cooperative, Gothenburg, Nebraska; Dave Christiansen of Mid-Kansas Co-op, Moundridge, Kansas; and Stan Stark of Farmers Cooperative Co., Haviland, Kansas.
