The Executive Vice President for the Crop Insurance and Reinsurance Bureau is Mike Torrey, pictured here on the right with new Chair Sheri Bane and just past Chair Greg Mills. Prior to our opening reception last night I visited with Mike to learn more about CIRB and what will take place during this annual meeting.
By the time I interviewed Mike the organization had already held it’s annual member meeting at which they discussed priorities for the year. One of those is how to reach out to younger people with the start of a leadership program.
During the next couple days we’ll have presentations on legislation, climate change, legal challenges and other trends like big data. Of course there will be plenty of time for networking and talking about the challenges facing agriculture this year.
