We’ve got a couple of deadlines coming up this Friday. The first one is for entries for the IFAJ-Alltech Young Leaders in Agricultural Journalism Award. Since each country member of IFAJ can nominate a member (that’s AAEA in the USA) you need to get your application in if you would like to be considered.
The award recognizes the leadership potential of young members (35 and younger), and supports their participation at the IFAJ congress through this $1,000 EUR award, designed to help offset travel and registration to Canada, in this case.
Apply by emailing Future Ag Communicators Committee Chair Mindy Williamson (mwilliamson@iowacorn.org) the following:
- Name, company, email, phone number (applicants must be no older than 35 as of Dec. 31, 2010)
- Three samples of your work
- An explanation of why you have leadership potential in agricultural journalism and communications
Another deadline this Friday is early registration for the 2011 Agri-Marketing Conference. So get ready to harvest some ideas in Kansas City, MO in April!
New Breakout Sessions on Sustainability, Animal Welfare and Management
Internationally Known Keynote Speakers to challenge you and share information you can use right away
Outstanding Networking with industry leaders and decision-makers
If you’re responsible for brand identity and market development – and if you want to rub elbows with the movers and shakers in the industry – make plans to join NAMA this April in Kansas City.
You’ll discover how to:
* use proven tactics to affect the behavior of your target audience
* attract and hold on to customers from younger markets with big buying power
* unlock the “seven triggers of fascination” that add a strategic marketing approach to the art of influence
The 2011 NAMA Agri-Marketing Conference is going to take your know-how to the next level.
