THE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN WAREHOUSE CONTROL OFFICIALS ANNOUNCES NEW NAME
News Date September 29, 2009
The Association of American Warehouse Control Officials announced today that the organization’s name has been changed. This action was taken as a result of a membership vote at the association’s annual meeting, July 22, 2009, in Bozeman, Montana. The new name of the organization is the Association of Grain Regulatory Officials.
Many members have grain producer protection programs in place in addition to warehousing regulations. The membership felt that the prior name emphasized only part of the association’s purpose.
The Association of Grain Regulatory Officials is a network of regulatory officials from U.S. states, Canadian provinces, USDA and business affiliates formed to share information, ideas and camaraderie in support of the members and partners in agricultural production and warehousing. The organization was first formed as the National Association of State Licensed Warehouse Departments in 1939.
