NW wheat organizations get new leaders
A
By MATTHEW WEAVER Capital Press
new era of leadership has dawned at the three Pacific Northwest wheat commissions. Each of them has new top executives. Amanda Hoey took over as Oregon Wheat’s CEO in January 2020, overseeing the Oregon Wheat Commission and Oregon Wheat Growers League. She replaced Blake Rowe, who held the position for eight years. Casey Chumrau replaced Glen Squires as chief executive officer of the Washington Grain Commission in 2022. Squires held the position for 10 years. Previously, Chumrau was executive director of the Idaho Wheat Commission for two years, replacing Blaine Jacobson, who held the position for 18 years. See Q&A, Page A8
