Jensen to Work in Promotion & Outreach for Dairy Advocacy Group


Jensen was one of 80 applicants to apply for the full-time, first of its kind position with NYAAC. Her tenure and experience in marketing and agricultural education, coupled with her confidence and public speaking skills made her the top candidate.
"I am very excited to be relocating back to New York to join the NYACC team," Jensen said. "NYACC is doing great things for New York agriculture and I'm looking forward to collaborating and continuing the positive momentum into the future."
Starting May 16, 2016, Jensen will put her skills to good use contributing to the organization's blogsite, along with creating content for its social media pages. She will be involved extensively with the organization's flagship event, the Dairy Cow Birthing Center at the New York State Fair, where three calves are born daily and nearly a quarter of million people come to witness the miracle of life. There, she will serve as a spokesperson for the exhibit, as well as an event and volunteer coordinator. Jensen will also be busy working with the state's 5,000 dairy farmers, helping them be better advocates for their livelihood through presentations and trainings, creative materials, events and more. She will also aid in fundraising for the newly designated 501(c)3 organization.
