The National Provisioner had the unique honor of hosting the induction ceremony for the Meat Industry Hall of Fame Class of 2024 on July 25, 2025, during the 2025 AAMP convention in Kansa City, Mo.

I once again want to take the opportunity to recognize the members of the Class of 2024 for their lifelong contributions to advancing tthe meat and poultry industry.:

• Roger H. Ball
• H. Glen Dolezal Jr.
• Craig W. Hess
• Barb Masters
• Robert Meyer
• Frederick “Fritz” Usinger IV.

Much thanks to our partners AAMP, the American Meat Science Association and the members of the Meat Industry Hall of Fame Board of Trustees for all their cooperation and support in finalizing and honoring this year’s inductees – and to the Hall’s past inductees for voting on who would be among the Class of 2024.

Check out the profiles of the Meat Industry Hall of Fame Class of 2024 in this issue and learn about their contributions to excellence in the meat and poultry industry.
