Stockgrowers name new executive vice president

The Montana Stockgrowers Association recently announced Jay Bodner of Helena, Montana, as their new executive vice president. This announcement comes after a month-long search for the new head of the association.

“After an extensive search and interview process, Jay was an easy choice for the new executive vice president, said Bryan Mussard, president of MSGA. “He’s been with the association for sixteen years, he is well respected throughout the state and we want to expand on his potential.”

Bodner, a native of Raynesford, Montana, has worked for MSGA for the past 16 years as the director of natural resources and lead lobbyist. During his tenure at MSGA, he also served as executive director of the Montana Public Lands Council and the Montana Association of State Grazing Districts. Jay and his wife Donna reside in Helena; they have two children, Anthony and Janae.
