Agriculture Deputy Secretary Chuck Conner today (last week) announced two appointments to the 20-member National Mango Board. The appointees were nominated by the board to fill the wholesaler/retailer positions. The new members are: Lawrence A. Kern, Irwindale, Calif.; and Ronald G. McCormick, Bentonville, Ark. Their initial term of office begins immediately and ends on Dec. 31, 2007.
