Help Us Think BIG

Chuck Zimmerman

NAMA Convention 2007The 2007 Agri-Marketing ConferenceTrade Show Committe just met via conference call and we’re thinking big. It’s always a challenge trying to come up with a schedule and locations that will meet everyone’s needs and wants.

I’m wondering if any of you creative types who attend the Conference would offer your ideas about what we can do at the trade show to attract your and your peers to visit and spend time there. We want to kick the trade show off with a bang. It’s going to be in Dallas and you can see what the theme is.

What can we do to attract traffic into the NAMA trade show? Our next conference call is coming up in just 2 weeks so please forward me any ideas you might have.

Sec. Johanns Speech

Secretary of Agriculture Mike JohannsRight now we just learned that the St. Louis Agribusiness Club leader of the year award is going to Sen. Jim Talent who couldn’t be with us today. That’s too bad since he is such a big supporter of agribusiness in the state of Missouri.
