Announcing NAMA Connect. It’s the National Agri-Marketing Association blog. You may remember they blogged the Boot Camp this summer. Well it’s time to move on down the blogging super highway.

The National Agri-Marketing Association just announced the winners of their annual Professional Development Awards. Yours truly was nominated! I consider that an honor and I congratulate the people who have been chosen to receive the awards which will be presented during the Tuesday dinner at the NAMA Agribusiness Forum.

I just had a feeling this would happen. I applaud the decision and look forward to having the biggest and best NAMA convention ever in Missouri next year!

This was just sent out from the National Agri-Marketing Association (NAMA) office. Are you a member? If so, how about helping recruit some more?

As you no doubt know, Cindy and I are in Switzerland. Since we’ve been here we’ve only been able to see some CNN coverage of the hurricane aftermath in the south. When I saw the damage to the Hyatt I wondered how it would affect the NAMA convention next spring and in the latest NAMA e-News they mention that it is too early to tell. However, they’re looking at possible alternatives. I can’t imaging that the hotel will be ready for us by April but you never know.

If you’re a member of the National Agri-Marketing Association you might have it in your inbox or your mailbox. It’s time to toot your own horn with your entry in the 2006 Best of NAMA competition. You can find all the information you need online.

Okay. It’s a little self-promotion. But hey, if I don’t promote myself how are you going to believe I can help you promote yourself?

Here we are blog training at the the Agri-Marketing Boot Camp. This is a demo post.
