DENVER — The Red Angus Association of America is pleased to announce several strategic additions to its team: a membership and receivables specialist, an office receptionist, a digital media specialist and a written content specialist.
“We are excited to welcome these talented individuals to the Red Angus Association,” said Tom Brink, RAAA CEO. “Their combined experience and expertise will be instrumental in supporting our members, enhancing our digital presence and effectively communicating the value of Red Angus cattle to a wider audience.”
Christi Mangusso, a Colorado native from Arvada, joins RAAA as the membership and receivables specialist. Leveraging 18 years of office management experience and a Bachelor of Business Administration from Colorado Mesa University, Mangusso will manage member accounts and ensure exceptional customer service. She is also actively involved in agriculture, volunteering as a 4-H leader and raising livestock with her daughters.
"I'm ecstatic to become part of the amazing RAAA team and I look forward to contributing to the collective success of our members," shared Mangusso.
Tabitha Romero, from Brighton, Colorado, brings more than 20 years of experience in office administration and will serve as the RAAA office receptionist. Romero is enthusiastic about contributing to the member experience and said, "I'm so excited to join the RAAA team and to have a hand in this positive experience for our valued members."
Trisha Klement Glassinger, Aledo, Texas, is a 2000 graduate of Oklahoma State University with a double major in agricultural communications and animal science. With more than 23 years of experience in digital media marketing, Glassinger joins RAAA as the digital media specialist after assisting RAAA since August 2023 as a part-time contractor. In her new role, she will be responsible for creating engaging content and expanding RAAA's digital reach to promote the Red Angus breed and the association's mission.
“I've grown up with cattle and love promoting the beef industry at every opportunity,” said Glassinger. “I’m excited to help promote the Red Angus breed and RAAA to a new generation of cattle producers.”
Maclaine Shults-Mauney, from Lubbock, Texas, joins the team as the written content specialist. She attended Texas Tech University where she was a member of the 2016 National Champion Livestock Judging Team and received a bachelor’s degree in agricultural communications with a minor in animal science. With experience from the International Brangus Breeders Association and her own creative agency, Shults-Mauney will develop compelling material that effectively communicates the benefits of Red Angus cattle.
“I’m excited to join the RAAA team and to help promote the Red Angus breed,” said Shults-Mauney. “I believe that Red Angus cattle offer a unique combination of performance and efficiency that can benefit cattle producers of all sizes.”
These strategic additions to the RAAA team will further strengthen the association's ability to support its members, enhance its digital presence and communicate the value of Red Angus cattle to a wider audience.
The Red Angus Association of America serves the beef industry by enhancing and promoting the measurable advantages of Red Angus and Red Angus-influenced cattle. The RAAA provides commercial producers with objectively described cattle by implementing new technologies and using scientifically sound principles that quantify traits of economic importance to beef producers in all segments of the beef industry.
