The Iowa Beef Industry Council (IBIC) is excited to welcome Erin Good of Waukee as our new Director of Nutrition & Health. In this role, Erin will lead IBIC’s efforts in beef nutrition programs, collaborating with health organizations, healthcare professionals retail promotion partners and local schools to support both national and state checkoff programs in Iowa.

 “I’m excited to join the Iowa Beef Industry Council and bring my passion for health and nutrition to the table,” Erin shared. “I look forward to bridging the gap between consumers, healthcare professionals, educators, and the farming community, showcasing how beef fits into a balanced lifestyle – while bringing a new perspective from outside the farming world.”

She graduated from Iowa State University in 2011 with a bachelor’s degree in dietetics and is both a registered and licensed dietitian. Erin brings over 12 years of experience as a Corporate Retail Dietitian at Hy-Vee, where she gained expertise in live television and radio, partnerships with health influencers, and developing health and nutrition marketing materials.

“We are excited for Erin to join our incredible team with her passion and experience for health and nutrition,” said Mike Anderson, IBIC Executive Director. “This role is critical in educating both producers and consumers with factual, science-based information about how beef contributes to a healthy diet.”
