Josie Conner Signs With American Hat Company

Texas: American Hat Company, makers of the finest cowboy hat in the world, continues to expand their elite roster of athletes with more female powerhouses. Just like with the acquisition of Shelby Boisjoil and recently Erin Taoramino, Josie Conner will be joining the family at the very high recommendation of fellow American Hat endorsee and 20x World Champion, Jackie Crawford.

Crawford said, “Josie is one of the best young talents the breakaway industry has ever seen. She is a force that will be reckoned with for a very long time and handles herself with class and grace. She is the perfect fit for the American Hat Company Family.”

When asked about partnering with the iconic brand, Conner said, “I am excited and honored to be a part of the American Hat family. American Hat Company is an industry leader that represents our American values and western lifestyle. They also manufacture the highest quality and most comfortable hat I’ve ever worn. I’m proud to be an American, and I’m proud to wear an American.”

Keith Mundee, president of the company said, “You’ll often hear Josie’s name in conjunction with “up and coming” which almost makes me laugh! Josie has accomplished SO much at such a young age, but we know she has a long and prosperous career ahead of her and are absolutely thrilled to be along for the ride.”

It is an honor and a privilege to be included on your team and I cannot wait to see what the future holds.” She then referenced one of her favorite quotes by Edmund Lee, “Surround yourself with the dreamers, and the doers, the believers, and the thinkers, but most of all, surround yourself with those who see the greatness within you, even when you don’t see it yourself.”
