Mary Reed
CLI Judge
 Mary Reed has owned llamas since 1990 and alpacas since 1991. She has been active in
the show association ALSA, serving as chair of the budget and finance committee and then as a Director for six years from
1993 through 1999. She served on the ALSA Judges’ committee from 2000 through 2002. Under Mary’s tenure as Treasurer
of ALSA, the organization grew from a deficit net worth to assets exceeding $100,000, all without an increase in fees. Under
her Presidency, the first Grand National was held, at least one year ahead of schedule due to the success of the ALSA Regional
show network. Mary was instrumental in establishing the ALSA llama fiber competition and judging programs. Mary served as
a level III Alpaca Judge and Judges’ Instructor, instructing/hosting four successful Alpaca Judging Clinics at Alpaca
Jack’s Suri Alpacas and Stachowski Alpacas. Mary chaired the ALSA Alpaca committee from 1995 through 2002. She managed
the ALSA Buckeye Regional Show from 2000 through 2002.
Mary is recognized as one of the premier judges of Suri
Alpacas in the United States, and she judged the Suri Division at the 2002 AOBA National Show. She has enjoyed judging llama
futurity shows and the opportunity to lend her expertise and knowledge of camelid fiber to the llama industry.
Mary
divides her time between the Camelid industry and her “day job” as a financial executive in broadcasting.
