he Piedmontese Association of the United States (PAUS) is a 501c(5) non-profit
T organization that was founded in 1984 and incorporated in 1987. The primary purpose of
PAUS is to register cattle, promote the breed, and provide help and support to our members.
PAUS is dedicated to serving the needs of the Piedmontese breeders and it’s members
nationwide. The organization is managed by a volunteer Board of Directors, who are elected by
the members they represent. Membership in the association and participation in the election
process is fundamental to our organization and essential to our continued progress and success.
Each active member has an equal vote at every election, and all members have a chance to serve on the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors continually strive to make decisions to benefit the whole of the association, the members, and the
Piedmontese breed, but their job becomes difficult without continued participation from active members. Please consider
serving on the Board and helping the association progress into the future. To learn more about volunteering to serve, or if you
need more information about the association or this wonderful breed, please contact one of the local regional Directors or the
PAUS office.
