About the Illinois Beef Association

The IBA Board of Directors is responsible for the association’s membership and beef checkoff programs. This board consists of 30 voting directors from across the state. The dues division represents the interests of cattlemen and women and the checkoff division focuses on producer education, consumer awareness, and product promotion. There are also eight additional ex-officio board members from universities and agriculture businesses in Illinois.

The Illinois cattle industry thrives on multi-generational family farms. The farmers and cattle producers of the Illinois Beef Association serve as stewards of the livestock, land, and environment entrusted to them. The IBA is a network of passionate people working together to produce high quality beef.
