Secretary Romanski announced at an interim council meeting that appointees and reappointments to the council were automatically seated for the session and introduced newly appointed members.

The council heard that Brandon Bickham, Chad Vincent, Amy (last name not specified) and Kevin Krenz will continue their service; newly appointed members introduced themselves—Grant Holly identified himself as executive director of the Wisconsin State Cranberry Growers Association and described extensive international partnership experience, and Representative Brianne Brown said she comes from a military and farming family and serves on the state Assembly Ag Committee.

"Because this is an interim meeting, we don't have to do any kind of formal confirmation. Everybody who's been appointed or reappointed is automatically on," Secretary Romanski said, explaining the process for this meeting.

Grant Holly said his background includes creating international partnerships and working with cranberry industry organizations; he told the council he looks forward to contributing trade and international-market experience. Representative Brianne Brown described her farming background and committee work and said she hoped to be of help to the council.

The council did not hold a formal vote at the meeting because of its interim status; staff noted they would circulate appointment materials and follow-up information by email. The meeting continued with presentations from Food Export Midwest and program staff.
