Chad Hymas shares his encouraging words and wisdom with NEAFA members at the 2019 Annual Meeting banquet.
Save the date for the 2020 Northeast Agribusiness and Feed Alliance (NEAFA) Annual Meeting, taking place at the Albany Marriott (189 Wolf Rd, Albany, NY 12205) on February 4th & 5th. “The 2020 Annual Meeting will continue the long tradition of excellent programming on timely topics relevant to the agribusiness community,” said NEAFA President John Clark. “We anticipate nationally known speakers to be joining us to address provocative topics impacting the agriculture industry. This year we will be incorporating legislative meetings at the New York State Capitol on Tuesday morning, February 4th. These legislative meetings are essential in maintaining important the working relationships we have with our elected officials.”
“I always look forward to the annual meeting,” said NEAFA Board Vice President Danielle Penny-Stroop. “Last year was one of the best we’ve had in quite a while, and not because we were in Florida. The content and speakers were amazing. We have some wonderful foundations and platforms to build from last year, and to make this year’s programming even better. I’m very excited to have it in Albany. I really want our members to come out for the lobbying effort, and I hope to encourage our state representatives to come to the annual meeting. By attending, representatives can see and discuss the issues that we’re facing as an industry in a comfortable manner and hear directly from the constituents that know the industry intimately.”
The meeting format will include a choice of seminars on issues challenging the agribusiness industry, networking opportunities and motivating keynote speakers. “Our annual meeting is a must attend event for the entire agribusiness community,” stated Executive Director Rick Zimmerman. “This program will offer value to all who attend. Mark your calendar for February 4-5, 2020!”
