The National Turkey Federation (NTF) and its members congratulate Joel Brandenberger, NTF President & CEO, as the recipient of the 2024 NTF Lifetime Achievement Award.
Brandenberger received the award on Feb. 24 during a ceremony at NTF’s 2024 Annual Convention in Austin, Texas. Steve Lykken, 2023 NTF Chairman, presented Brandenberger with the award along with several esteemed industry leaders and CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent Major Garrett, a longtime friend of Brandenberger. Several family members, including his wife, Susan, were present along with close friends and former colleagues.
During the presentation, Garrett said: “Joel was my first friend in Texas, and what we all know about Joel is that he is a good and decent person; he is reliable as the day is long. And if someone was to ask me, ‘Major, name the person in your life who if you had something that had to be done on a specific date and time, who would that person be?’ and for me, that person would be Joel Brandenberger.”
