At least Osborn & Barr only announced 2 new hires this time (saves time on posting). I will post a picture of Amy as soon as I get one. In this case they’re adding to their Kansas City office.

Benjamin Richey brings a combination of marketing and livestock experience to his new role as account executive for Intervet and National Pork Board at Osborn & Barr Communications. Most recently, he was the director of communications at the National Institute for Animal Agriculture (NIAA). He has also worked with the National Swine Registry and the National Pork Board. He received a bachelor of science in animal science and agricultural communication at Purdue University.

And also . . .
