The National Agri-Marketing Association (NAMA) has prepared some chapter leader support materials that were just mailed out last week. The materials include a CD with images, forms and lots of information about the various chapter leadership positions. Also included is a booklet that contains a description of each leadership position.

NAMA president, Tom Smull, sends along a cover letter that says, “As you know, a focus area that we’re stressing is supporting chapters in development, growth and delivering value.” These materials are definitely a big help. I know I’ll use them in support of the Gateway chapter.

I’m still kind of wondering about the “Leading The Way” image. It looks like a bunch of rainbow colored people figures. At our Region II Leadership Workshop one participant said they looked like the guys on a “men’s room” sign. I’m sure they’re supposed to be people who have stepped up to the plate to lead others in this business we call agrimarketing.

Besides these leadership materials NAMA also has a number of materials available to recruit new members. These are under the banner of the “Cultivating Connections” program and include flyers and brochures which are available from the NAMA office.
