American Agri-Women will be developing its policy positions for 2015 at the annual Mid-Year meeting, set for March 27-29 in Oklahoma City. The positions will be delivered to elected officials in June during the organization's annual Fly-In to Washington, D.C.
"This year's legislative discussions take on an even greater meaning since we are celebrating our 40th anniversary," says AAW President Sue McCrum. "Our members take the discussions very seriously, knowing we are representing more than 50 state and commodity affiliates when we craft our final positions."
AAW is the nation's largest coalition of farm, ranch and agri-business women. The organization is celebrating 40 years of advocating for agriculture and empowering women in agriculture.
The Oklahoma Agri-Women affiliate is hosting the meeting, which will be held at the Best Western Plus/Saddleback Inn and Conference Center, 4300 SW 3rd St., Oklahoma City. Kristi Bishop is affiliate president.
Speakers at the Mid-Year meeting include Wade Cowan, president of the American Soybean Assn. Also, Laura Wood Peterson, manager of federal government relations for Syngenta, and Becky Langer, Ph.D., manager of Bayer Crop Science's Bee Care Program, will lead a discussion on pollinators.
