Guest Speaker Reccomendations
Hey everyone!
I am the new co-president for the University of Guelph's Poultry Club, and we are looking for guest speakers for the 2018-2019 school year! My co-president has a background in commercial poultry (where he will likely be finding his guest speakers) while I have a background in backyard and exhibition poultry. So I'm here to ask around for names of some people you think are p-hen-omenally involved with any aspect of poultry and would like to speak about their experiences and knowledge. I'm hoping to bring in some more voices from the small-scale side of the discussion, so what better place to start than PTO??
Have a great day!

Congrats on that!
How about Troy Laroche, @modern17 from Orangeville? I know he's very busy but may be worth an ask. Awesome guy.

Re: Guest Speaker Reccomendations
I third the motion! I don't know him but he seems to know his poultry etc!
I think however that you should be demoted to co-vice-president for that awful "phenomenally" pun! Lol

I nominate @WLLady , PTO administrator, breeder and geneticist. Perhaps along with @poultry_admin , who although "not a chicken person", has extensive experience with chicken math and dealing with us crazy poultry people.
