At the National Potato Council’s (NPC) 2011 Annual Meeting Justin Dagen of Karlstad, MN, was elected to lead the NPC as president in 2011. The meeting was held January 7-8, 2011, in Las Vegas, NV.
Justin Dagen is a seed grower from Karlstad, MN, where his family has been farming for over 100 years.
Dagen has been involved in the NPC since 1995, when he participated in a leadership program held in Princeton, NJ.
The leadership program gave him a national perspective of the potato industry and this is where he recognized the value of having a unified voice on federal public policy issues. He left the leadership program energized.
Since then, Dagen has been involved in his local state organization and went on to serve on the NPC Board of Directors. For the past five years he has served on the Executive Committee where his roles included vice president of Grower and Public Relations, vice president of Finance and Office Procedures, and, most recently, vice president of Legislative and Government Affairs.
