Published
11/15/2023
The County Presidents Conference will gather county Farm Bureau association leaders to:
- Build relationships between peers leading county associations across the state.
- Increase knowledge of Farm Bureau priorities, services, opportunities and support in order to elevate the success of local work and establish greater consistency in association governance and strategy.
- Enhance the skills and capacity of county presidents as the foundation for high-functioning, efficient and effective county associations.
County presidents highly desired, but alternate county leaders may attend in their place. County presidents are strongly encouraged to participate in Day at the Statehouse and these events have been combined to make this as easy as possible with one trip.
