The World Food Prize Foundation, Des Moines, Iowa, has appointed Charles Sukup, former president and CEO and current board co-chair of Sukup Manufacturing Co., to the foundation’s board of directors.
The board assures the financial integrity of the foundation by adopting the budget and assuring the foundation’s activities conform to that budget. The board also selects foundation officers—who serve on the board—and the members of the foundation’s council of advisers.
Sukup served for 25 years as president and CEO of Sukup Manufacturing Co. in Sheffield, Iowa. It is the world’s largest family-owned manufacturer of grain bins, dryers, and grain handling and storage equipment.
