Serving as a clearinghouse for information, industry contacts, and organized activities, MICA plays a pivotal role in supporting the evolving needs of global marketing channels that deliver imported meat from offshore farms and ranches to consumers in the United States. Since its founding in 1962, MICA has continuously adapted to meet the changing demands of its members, solidifying its reputation as a trusted and enduring advocate for the imported meat industry. The Beef Promotion and Research Act of 1985 established the Beef Promotion Operating Committee (BPOC) to oversee programs aimed at strengthening the beef industry. The BPOC is authorized to contract with established national nonprofit industry organizations, such as MICA to implement these programs and initiatives. MICA has an agreement with the BPOC to implement promotion and consumer information programs for beef and beef products. To assist MICA in carrying out its contractual obligations with the BPOC, MICA has contracted with the Pennsylvania Beef Council (PBC). 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 15 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 X 23 23 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 X Mike Skahill Executive Director 2026842512 1717 K Street NW Ste 900 Washington DC 200065349 X Dana Ehrlich Chair 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Fred Sorbello Vice Chair 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Len Steiner Jr Secretary/Treasurer 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Andrew Banchi Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Eric Brown Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jason Frost Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kim D'Anella Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Pablo Garbarino Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kim Holzner Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Selwyn Jones Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Andrew Kopic Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Doug McNicholl Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Greg Muse Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Denis Mendonca Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Olga Nunez Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Tonn Pastore Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 David Rind Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Steve Sanger Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jack Schuyler Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jeff Sorbello Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Alan Tonks Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dan Wackerman Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Watson Jr Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Todd Wheelock Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Skahill Executive Director 28.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 DTB Agritrade LLP 1717 K Street NW Suite 900 Washington DC 20006 Managment Contract 155661 1 Conferences and meetings 900099 540970 540970 Membership dues 900099 379745 379745 Beef Checkoff mgmt fees 900099 1790 1790 922505 11147 11147 Other income 900099 500 500 500 934152 922505 0 11647 X 179848 27524 97498 4765 16600 16881 404563 2472 Bad debt 7743 757894 28375 147788 200232 21704 25000 22500 267990 303631 521597 495623 269805 26089 0 12000 269805 38089 X 251792 457534 251792 457534 521597 495623 176258 29484 0 X X 1 X 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 X Part X, Line 2: Management has evaluated MICA's tax positions and concluded that the financial statements do not include any uncertain tax positions.
