Australian Exchange Program Applications Available:

Are you an AJBA Member between 18 & 21 years of age and looking for an all expense paid trip to Australia ?  Each year AJBA sends one lucky member to Australia to spend up to three months learning more about the Brahman breed and the Australian breeders.  This is a very fun and educational trip and we encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity.  The time of the trip can be altered to fit the recipients schedule.
Junior Board elections are held each summer. Each state is given seats on the junior board based on their state membership, and directors are elected within their state.

The junior board members assist at the AJBA All American and the International Brahman Show. They also represent the AJBA at various events in their home states.

Contact Chris Shivers for information on getting involved in the AJBA Junior Board.
