Sundsbak elected to National Junior Angus Association board

Madison Sundsbak of Des Lacs has been elected one of 12 individuals who will serve as the National Junior Angus Association board of directors for the coming year.

The board members were announced at the National Junior Angus Show awards ceremony held July 9 in Des Moines, Iowa.

Board members serve a two-year term and travel across the country to various events, promoting the Angus breed and helping young people succeed in the industry’s premier junior organization. Their first official activity is the Leaders Engaged in Angus Development conference in Raleigh, N.C., Aug. 3-6.

Sundsbak said being elected to the NJAB is a dream come true. She is the current North Dakota Angus Queen and the North Dakota Junior Angus Association’s president. As a student at South Dakota State University, she is studying agricultural education with a minor in agriculture business and a certificate in agricultural and environmental law. She hopes to make a difference in student’s lives by pursuing a degree in teaching.

The 2017 NJAS was a record breaker for the Angus breed. More than 1,260 head of Angus cattle were shown — the largest number since the last record was set 10 years ago.
