University of Missouri students Kate Thompson and Sophia Liefer are enjoying their time this week at the National Agri-Marketing Association (NAMA) Fall Conference in St. Louis while helping out the NAMA Foundation.

“The best thing about NAMA is that we are all super competitive,” said Thompson, who talked about the foundation fundraiser they were doing at the conference. “It’s a really great opportunity to connect the professional side with the student side.”

The NAMA Foundation is the backbone of Student NAMA, helping to provide students with the tools they need to succeed through scholarships, networking and competitions. Thompson and Liefer said Mizzou NAMA is planning to participate in the live conference next April and were disappointed the competition was cancelled this year due to the pandemic.
