Meet the Staff
NSR Vice President of Operations, Ellen Knauth
How many years have you worked for the NSR?
I have been with NSR since July of 2014, so six years.
What is your favorite aspect of your role with the NSR?
I grew up in the swine industry and was able to make a lot of friends from across the country. In my position at NSR, it is fun for me to see those “kids” I grew up with having success at our shows.
What is one thing you wish members knew about your job?
The best part of my job is seeing members succeed and getting to be a part of making that happen. It’s tough to be the bad guy who has to make the rules and enforce them, I really just want everyone to be able to come to our events and have an easy and enjoyable time!

What is your favorite aspect of your role with the NSR?
Working with our membership to navigate and overcome industry challenges and to enhance the goals of their operations.
What is one thing you wish members knew about your job?
Every day is different, and making challenging decisions can be difficult, but we are here to represent the membership. If members ever have questions, ideas, or concerns, they should feel comfortable reaching out to the staff and myself. It is always better to have accurate information and perspectives. And we are here to listen.
What is your favorite NSR memory?
Last year was the first year we did a “retiring ceremony” for the Junior Board. The staff took total ownership in the making it special and watching the Junior Board retire and seeing the young NJSA members in the crowd [ … ]
