The North American Meat Assn.'s board of directors on March 21 voted to approve an agreement and plan of merger with the American Meat Institute. If AMI's members also approve, the merger could be effective Jan. 1, 2015. AMI and NAMA initiated discussions about a possible merger in September of last year. Since that time, a committee composed of members from each association has explored how a new organization can best serve its members. NAMA has 600 member companies. AMI members will vote in April on the proposed merger. Both associations are based in Washington.
