The president and CEO of The American Egg Board, Anne L. Alonzo will resign effective mid-April 2020.  She will join an agribusiness company and will be based in Washington, DC. Anne is a lawyer by profession, earned an MBA and acquired experience as an administrator in the USDA-AMS before her present appointment. As an exceptionally incisive and effective manager she turned around the AEB at a time that it was facing scrutiny and criticism. In four years she appointed competent subordinates and enhanced the image of the industry through her contacts and outreach. 

 Jeff Hardin, chair of the AEB praised Anne for substantially transforming and strengthening the AEB.  He expressed his gratitude for her dedication, contributions and friendship.

Ms. Alonzo will remain with AEB to assist in the transition to new management and will contribute to the upcoming Annual Board meeting and the White House Easter Egg Roll.

Anne will be a hard act to follow.
