Abstract

When you sign up for a year as President of the New Zealand Society of Animal Production, you should make an attempt to understand who the Society really is, and how the members are best served by the Society. If you go back through previous Presidential Addresses some recurring themes come up around this issue of who is the Society Membership and what should the Society be doing to best serve the membership? The fact that we frequently re-visit this question shows that it is pertinent. It also proves the words of Abraham Lincoln true when he said “Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren’t very new at all”
