Chandler Goule will step down as CEO of the National Association of Wheat Growers June 30 after leading the organization for 9 years.
His departure was a mutual decision, according to Goule and NAWG President Pat Clements. “We’ve both agreed to go our separate ways and wish him the very best in his future endeavors,” Clements said in a press release.
“I am confident that NAWG is in a stronger position today than when I first started," Goule said in the release. "One of my proudest accomplishments has been winning our Prop 65 case against the state of California, ensuring that facts and science guided the outcome. ... As for me, I won’t be going far — where that leads is still to be determined."
Clements said, “We are deeply grateful for Chandler’s nine years of dedicated service to NAWG and the wheat industry. He has been a pleasure to work with, and his leadership has been instrumental in our many successes."
Confirming the news to Agri-Pulse, Goule added that “it’s been a pleasure serving the wheat farmers of the United States" and wished them a good planting season.
Goule, a native of Texas, held positions at the National Farmers Union from 2009 to 2016 after serving on the staff of the House Agriculture Committee.
