Sad Passing of Al Pope

 04/27/2023

The U.S. egg production industry has lost a dedicated and enthusiastic supporter with the passing , on April 20, of the late

Albert  Ernest “Al” Pope, at the age of 86. He was a former president and CEO of the UEP  joining in 1974 and serving for 32 years until his retirement in 2006.

 

A number of his achievements on behalf of the industry included the “Egg Research and Consumer Information Act” that

established the American Egg Board (AEB). He was instrumental in unifying the industry and creating the United Egg Association.

 

His vision extended to creation of the Scientific Advisory Committee for Animal Welfare and the creation of the “UEP Certified” Animal Welfare Program. He was recognized as the 1999 Egg Producer of the Year for his contributions to the U.S. egg-production industry.

 

EGG-NEWS extends condolences to his widow Penny, his two children and their families with six grandchildren
