JNHE AMBASSADORS

AMBASSADORS JOIN THE TEAM READYING FOR THE JUNIOR NATIONAL HEREFORD EXPO

The National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) is excited to bring an additional five members of staff to assist with the 2022 VitaFerm Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) in Louisville, Kentucky. These five individuals are the JNHE Ambassadors and will be joining for the month of July in a mini-internship focused on all aspects of preparation, follow-through and post-production of event management.

This team arrived in Kansas City, Missouri, on July 6, and will be assisting with JNHE festivities until July 28. One 2022 JNHE Ambassador, Emerson Tarr, hails from Le Roy, Illinois.

Emerson Tarr, Le Roy, Illinois, will be entering her sophomore year at Lake Land College, studying agriculture transfer and pursuing a degree in agriculture communications. Emerson is a member of the livestock judging team, vice president of the agriculture transfer club and a member of the student ambassador team. Emerson has grown up raising and showing Simmental cattle and has attended various state, regional and national shows. The Simmental breed has brought many leadership opportunities for Emerson, including serving as the Illinois Junior Simmental Association president and recently being elected to the American Junior Simmental Association (AJSA) Board of Trustees. Her favorite part of the AJSA National Classic is the mentor-mentee program where she helps young exhibitors have a fun and successful junior national experience. Emerson looks forward to expanding her horizons beyond the Simmental breed and is excited to spend the summer with Team Hereford.
