The first announcement at the NAMA Awards Ceremony was the announcement of which student teams made it to the final round. They are: Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Ohio State, Purdue, Michigan State and University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Way to go teams. Good luck in the finals tomorrow.
There’s so many awards given out that I doubt we’ll be able to post them all and I’m not going to even try yet. But while the ceremony is going on I can bring you a few pictures.
The emcee for the awards tonight is Cyndi Young, Farm Director, Brownfield Network. She’s doing a great job as you would expect from a broadcast professional.
Malcolm Media has a great display. They’re the Malcolm Racing Team. I talked to Dan Malcolm, who’s put together a great booth.
Gary & Robin Cooper, Southeast AgNet, now own Citrus Industry magazine. They’re here at NAMA to exhibit and talk about the sunshine state media combination of radio and print!
Gary Schulz, GM, International Agri-Center, Inc., explains what the World Ag Expo is at his NAMA Trade Show booth.
We had a second winner this afternoon at our booth. He’s Mick Glaze, Fort Hays State University. Mick is an instructor of agricultural business in the Dept. of Agriculture.
Congratulations Mick!
The first winner of the New Holland toy tractor that was given away at the AgriMarketing Pros booth is Dennis Bryant, DF Bryant & Company, Inc.
Way to go Dennis!
As a “Gator” myself (TEL 1980) I had to get a picture of the Gator NAMA student competition team. Here they are at lunch. Sharp looking! Good luck.
One of the greatest benefits to attending a NAMA convention is networking with your peers. In between meetings, the trade show, meals or just about anytime, you’ll see agrimarketing professionals talking. This benefit alone makes attending the convention a must for anyone who’s serious about their profession.
Here you can see Katana Ewbank, AdFarm, chatting with Al Pell, Farm Journal Media. This is where the real work gets done!
The NAMA Convention student lunch was crowded. At the conclusion of the luncheon the quarterfinalists were announced for their marketing competition. Those are already underway this afternoon.
