January 16, 2025 (Westminster, CO) – The National Bison Association (NBA) is pleased to announce a new addition to its team. Adam Ulbricht of Minnesota has been hired as a Program and Communications Coordinator. He will assist in facilitating the NBA’s USDA Grass is Greener Climate Smart Agriculture grant, communications work, legislative efforts, and member relations.
“It’s an honor to work with bison farmers and ranchers every day”, said Ulbricht. “Since my first experience with the animal, I’ve been hooked. The NBA is a tremendous resource, and I look forward to working with our team to provide greater value to everyone involved within the bison industry.”
Said NBA Executive Director, Jim Matheson, “The NBA is thrilled to hire on Adam as our new coordinator. Having worked with Adam for the last five years through his involvement with the Minnesota Bison Association and as a NBA board member, I know what a talented and hard-working individual he is, and will be a tremendous asset to our staff and membership.”
Ulbricht is no stranger to the bison world. He served as Region V Director on the NBA’s board of directors, and chaired the NBA Legislative and Regulatory Committee, and will continue to serve as the Executive Director of the Minnesota Bison Association—a position he’s held since 2020.
Outside of bison, Ulbricht spent a decade working in communications with one of the largest Farm Credit associations in the U.S. He started his career as a multi-media journalist, which took him to Washington, D.C. before spending time working at the Minnesota House of Representatives.
