Read MoreI am Mike Videkovich, trustee for District 15, and Jenny Cox is your regional trustee. Ohio Farm Bureau staff members have prepared this recap from the January 2023 meeting of the Ohio Farm Bureau Board of Trustees.
Guests of the board
As part of our overall work to advance our mission, we build relationships and key partnerships with many individuals, candidates, groups, companies and organizations. This month we welcomed:
From Nationwide:
Board Member Paul Wenger
Sponsor Relations: Devin Fuhrman and Shawnda Vega
Young Ag Professionals State Committee member Sarah Bolte
Erie County Farm Bureau President Joseph Trinter
On the road at Winter Leadership Experience
The board meeting was held in Sandusky at Kalahari Convention Center so we could be on hand for the 2023 Winter Leadership Experience. This is the signature event for our Young Ag Professionals program. More than 450 younger members and families participated in the two-day conference. What a great boost to see the next generation engaged in our organization.
Ohio Agriculture and Rural Communities Action Plan
After policies our voting delegates passed at the annual meeting are finalized, the next step is for the board to prioritize our work for the coming year. The 2023 Ohio Agriculture and Rural Communities Action plan provides a blueprint for policymakers and Farm Bureau members to bolster the agriculture industry and rural communities.
Membership makes it happen
County volunteers and staff will be reaching out to nonrenewed and prospective members over the next couple of months. They will be talking to them about all the work the organization does to bring value to members and how that work helps us achieve our mission: Working Together with Ohio Farmers to Advance Agriculture and Strengthen our Communities. If you would like to get involved with the membership campaign, contact your county Farm Bureau for more details. If you have questions about the value of your membership and the changes to membership dues, please visit OhioFarmBureau.org/dues.
Thank you for being a Farm Bureau member.
