The Executive Committee of the National Agri-Marketing Association has been doing strategizing and planning at its quarterly meeting in Missouri. We had a beautiful setting for it at NAMA President Paul Redhage’s house!

We want to encourage all of you to put the 2014 Agri-Marketing Conference on your calendar. It will be in Jacksonville, FL next year before returning to Kansas City in 2015. We need companies, media and agencies to support the event and make it the best conference ever. The dates are April 8-11, 2014.

We’ve looked at our strategic plan to make sure we’re staying on track with things like creating and developing industry alliances. We also worked on a draft of the organizational budget for next year. NAMA is in great shape folks and that’s because of all of you who have paid your dues and gotten involved!
