Steering Committee

The Soy 2020 steering committee is comprised of 18 industry representatives who have global perspectives, yet represent U.S. soybean interests.  The steering committee is accountable for the content, methodology and resourcing decisions of the Soy 2020 vision and serves as ambassadors of the study during the development, rollout and implementation.

Steering committee members represent all facets of the industry including academia, associations, feed companies, food companies, government, industrial use companies, seed companies, processors, state soybean organizations, corporations and media, among others.
