Registration is open for the National Chicken Council’s Annual Conference. Please note that the National Chicken Council Board of Directors will meet in conjunction with the 63nd Annual Conference on Wednesday, November 1 from 1:45 to 5:00 p.m. The meeting is open to NCC board members and official representatives from NCC’s allied leader companies.
