ess than two years into his potato
career, Shawn Boyle has made
quite an impression. There seems
to be no shortage of people willing to
sing his praises for the work he's doing
as the president of the Idaho Grower
Shippers Association (IGSA).
An attorney by trade, Boyle represents
the collection of fresh potato shippers
by helping to advance business
opportunities, education and being a
voice to legislative decision-makers.
For his efforts, Boyle has been voted
the winner of 2019 Spudman Emerging
Leader Award sponsored by Yara. The
voting panel included Spudman staff,
past ELA winners and members of the
potato industry.
Boyle took over at IGSA in February
2017 after working as the in-house
counsel for fuel wholesaler Hall &
Associates. He received numerous
nominations for ELA honors.
" Shawn has been an outstanding
leader and continues to align and
influence those he is leading, " said Marc
Christensen of Mart Produce. " (He) is
humble, engaging and a good listener.
He is competent and respectful of
L
" It's the people that drew me to this job. I have
found that some of the greatest people in the
world are in the potato industry. "

winner of the 2019 Spudman Emerging Leader Award
others. He is passionate and clear when
communicating goals and objectives.
He is organized, patient and doesn't
waste people's time. "
NATIVE IDAHOAN
Boyle didn't grow up on a potato
farm, but, as a resident of Shelley, it
was impossible not to be cognizant of
potatoes' influence in the region. After
all, the Shelley High School mascot is
the King Russet.
" Although my
parents
were
not
farmers, my great grandparents were
potato farmers, " Boyle said. " During
high school, we'd get two or three weeks
off every fall to help with the potato
harvest. I played a lot of sports in high
school and I always had a Russet across
my chest.
" It's part of who I am. "
After graduating from Shelley High
School, Boyle received a bachelor's degree
from Brigham Young University and
then a law degree from the University of
Idaho. After five years in the fuel industry,
during which time he established the inhouse
legal counsel department at Hall &
Associates, Boyle saw the IGSA position
as a chance to get out from behind a desk
and into the community where he could
make a difference.
" It's the people that drew me to this
job, " he said. " I have found that some of
the greatest people in the world are in
the potato industry. "
