NAMA Membership and Conference Attendance Growth

Chuck Zimmerman

The 2012 Agri-Marketing Conference was a good one with an attendance near the record set in 2000 according to National Agri-Marketing Association President Beth Burgy, Broadhead. I spoke with Beth during the conference and agreed with her statement at our board meeting that it is really nice not to have major “issues” to be dealing with. However, the NAMA Executive Committee and Board are still working on the NAMA Strategic Plan and are continuing to explore ways to fully and successfully implement it. Beth says we have a “youth movement” going on in NAMA and lots of opportunities exist within the industry. Beth says she’s having a wonderful time as President and looks forward to the rest of the year.
