Communications and Operations Manager

SMA was founded in 1957 by a group of Texas meat packers who came together to form an organization that would unite packers/processors with the goal of promoting goodwill, friendship, education, legislation, and better labor relations within the meat industry. SMA provides information and assistance to packer and processor members across the country, with a scope far exceeding that with which SMA was founded. SMA’s vision is to be the nation’s leading food industry association whose members cultivate a culture of excellence through shared core values, enhancing opportunities for their long-term success.
