Swine Health Information Center names new Associate Director

A veterinarian who specializes in swine health is taking on a new role.  Dr. Lisa Becton is leaving her post as the National Pork Board’s Director of Swine Health to become the Associate Director of the Swine Health Information Center beginning in January.

Becton will replace Dr. Megan Niederwerder, who is moving up to the Executive Director position with the retirement of Dr. Paul Sundberg.

Becton says, “I’m really excited to be with SHIC and to maintain the close working relationships with the great teams at NPB, AASV, and National Pork Producers Council, while remaining in the industry I love.”
