Linda Borton was our executive director for the last few years. She took over the reins of a struggling organization around 2011. I say “around” because she worked for OFU for her entire lifetime. I say “around”, because when her appointment as executive director became official, she had already served in that capacity before and had been serving, unpaid, in that capacity during OFU’s darkest days.
At any rate, we all appreciate what Linda did for so may years. We all appreciate that she was there when we needed her most. And, here is the tribute from U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur to Linda Borton:
Linda certainly was and is a great advocate for family farmers and I am thankful for her leadership and work she accomplished to that end. Robert L. Benroth
