There’s a new kid in town. The Ethanol Promotion & Information Council has a Communications Director. She’s Joanna Schroeder and she starts this week. Welcome Joanna!

Joanna comes to EPIC from the Integer Group, where she’s worked on EPIC promotions over the last year.

By the way. You might want to check out EPIC’s new website, drivingethanol.org. The new design was just introduced last week.

I’ve been wanting to write about this. Heck, I’ve been wanting to eat one of these! Is it only a guy thing though? Hat’s off to the Beef Checkoff for teaming up on a huge promotion like this. I wonder what the results will be? Besides a Dominos Steak Fanatic Pizza they’re even talking special furniture to sit in front of the television with.

The Steak Fanatic Pizza combines guys’ ultimate food cravings — steak and pizza — into one delicious arrangement. The new Steak Fanatic Pizza is crafted with Domino’s signature hand-stretched dough piled with Angus steak — on top of more steak — and smothered in American and provolone cheeses. To embolden the distinct steak flavor, the new Steak Fanatic Pizza is topped with a special sauce developed specifically to complement the hearty Angus steak topping. And of course, no authentic steak experience would be complete without a layer of fire-roasted onions and thick mushroom slices.

Domino’s is partnering with the Cattlemen’s Beef Board and the Federation of State Beef Councils division of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association on this promotion, bringing together two tastes that Americans crave — steak and delicious Domino’s pizza. The U.S. beef industry’s highly recognized Beef Checkoff logo will appear on many of the promotional materials associated with the roll-out.

With Kara Flynn leaving the National Pork Producers Council for new opportunities with the Pew Initiative on Food and Biotechnology we’ve been wondering who would be the replacement and now we know.

Dave Warner has been hired to join the Washington Office as the NPPC’s Communications Director. Warner brings a wealth of experience in business communication to the position, such as eleven years of communication work for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
