At the 106th CCA and CCW Annual Convention, two familiar faces were appointed to serve on the 2023-2024 CCA Officer Team. Elected by CCA membership, officers represent California’s ranching community and CCA’s members at meetings while working to create a more favorable environment for ranchers.

Outside of CCA, Frank has served on the Alameda County Board of Directors for 12 years, was the Alameda Planning Commissioner for 12 years, sits on the East County Board of Zoning and served as the Alameda County Fair Board President remaining on the board today. As a CCA officer Frank shares, that he would like to help the public better understand the beef industry and share information with them to gain an understanding of what it takes to get meat to their tables.
CCA Second Vice President Mike McCluskey
CCA’s Second Vice President Mike McCluskey was born in Sacramento and moved to Dixon at the age of two. Now residing in Red Bluff, Mike works full time at Tehama Angus Ranch where he has an array of jobs including working cattle and helping in the farming operations, consisting of walnut and almond orchards. He and his wife Kendra also have some acreage of prune trees and grow hay.

Outside of the industry, Mike sat on the Dixon Unified School District School Board for two years, was involved with the Dixon Lions Club, volunteered with Friends of the Fair in Dixon and has served as a 4-H leader.
As part of CCA’s leadership team, Mike is eager to be more involved in the process of trying to keep the beef industry alive and thriving with the ever-changing regulations ranchers face on a daily basis. He also looks forward to getting out and seeing how different cattlemen are running their operations and learning what they need and how CCA can work towards helping them.
