The Renewable Fuels Association is honored to welcome Randy Klein as Director of Membership. Randy comes to the RFA from the Nebraska Corn Board where he served as Director of Market Development. He will be based out of the RFA’s Omaha office.

“We are pleased to have someone of Randy’s experience and passion for ethanol as part of our team,” said RFA President and CEO Bob Dinneen. “As a member-based organization, the RFA prides itself on providing its dues-paying members all the relevant information they need to make informed decisions about our policy direction and their own individual operations. Randy will hit the ground running as the RFA’s representative to the dozens of ethanol producers all across the nation.”

As the RFA welcomes Randy, it says goodbye to Jim Redding, who has served as the association’s Vice President of Industry Relations after his retirement from Aventine Renewable Energy two years ago. Jim is retiring to spend more time with his family, and to play more golf.

“Jim Redding has been an industry leader for nearly three decades, and his expertise and counsel will be missed,” said Dinneen. “We wish Jim nothing but the best and hope he remains involved in the industry as it continues to grow and evolve.”
