NAFB Goes To Washington

Chuck Zimmerman

NAFB Washington WatchI didn’t get to attend the NAFB Washington Watch this year but thanks to Executive Director, Bill O’Neill, we’ve got pictures.

One of the highlights each year is gathering around the big table at USDA. In this picture NAFB members are meeting with Undersecretary for Rural Development Tom Dorr, Deputy Secretary Chuck Conner and Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman.

NAFB Washington WatchAt another meeting the group got to hear from Senate Ag Committee Chairman Saxby Chambliss. These meetings always provide the reporters attending an opportunity to ask questions, learn more about what’s happening in DC and better serve their listening audience back home.

The next meeting for NAFB will be the annual convention this November 15-17 in Kansas City.
