I may be in Berlin posting from an IFAJ meeting and International Green Week but I’m still going to have other news posts too. Like this one about Lisa Perrin’s new gig with the Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association. She’ll be their marketing communications manager.

She will oversee the 3-A-Day of Dairy Mom’s grassroots network events and other consumer programs. She also will be responsible for coordinating promotion programs on behalf of Pennsylvania Dairy Promotion Program and will work with state Departments of Agriculture on marketing programs of mutual benefit. Perrin will be based in Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association’s Harrisburg office.

Perrin was raised on a family dairy farm in Alexander, N.Y. She obtained a bachelor’s degree in animal science from Cornell University and completed the Cornell Dairy Fellows and Farm Credit programs. Most recently Perrin served as communications manager for Holstein Association USA, Inc. Additionally, she honed her commodity marketing skills with National Cattlemen’s Beef Association in Denver, Colo., and Maryland & Virginia Milk Producers Cooperative Association in Reston, Va.
