Planning Meeting Held at AMS
Posted on July 30th 2008 at 3:52 pm
The planning committee for the IFAJ Congress 2009 met this morning for several hours at the 2008 Agricultural Media Summit (AMS).
Today’s meeting was very well attended. Mike Wilson, Greg Lamp and Diane Johnson helped the various committees working on next year’s event. Also making sure all the heavy lifting gets done behind the scenes were Den Gardner and Kenna Rathai who are the AAEA staff. We’ll also be updating the committees list but there’s a whole bunch of people making sure this program turns into one of the best ever.
We had quite a few people who had not been assigned to a committee but that got corrected and I’m happy to say that my marketing and communications committee now has more than two members and we came up with some great ideas that included incorporating some new social networking tools in our efforts.
We’re looking forward to showcasing American agriculture in Ft.Worth, TX next year!

The dedicated IFAJ/AMS planning committee is meeting early this morning in Kansas City, MO at the 2008 Agri-Marketing Conference to continue planning for the 2009 Congress. We’ve been reviewing the program and fine tuning things.
