WFBF to Hold First-Ever IGNITE Conference in April
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 03/16/2018

The state's largest farm organization is holding a new member-engagement conference next month to give attendees the opportunity to build leadership skills. The Wisconsin Farm Bureau is calling the April 5-6 forum 'IGNITE,' which stands for Innovate, Grow, Network, Inform, Train and Engage.

All activities will be held at the Holiday Inn Convention Center in Stevens Point. The conference offers four tracks: policy, issues and advocacy; governance and organization, building Farm Bureau and communicating for agriculture and Farm Bureau. Attendees can follow a certain track or divide their time between multiple tracks.

"The IGNITE conference is designed to be a dynamic, fun-filled training that will provide Farm Bureau members with program ideas, resources and new skills that attendees can immediately implement on the local level," said WFBF Jim Holte. "We have a fantastic line-up of speakers and workshops that will not disappoint."

Keynote speakers include New Mexico Farm and Livestock Bureau's Executive Vice President Matt Rush, Indiana farmer and agricultural speaker Damian Mason, Virginia farmer and motivational speaker Matt Lohr and Wisconsin Agriculture Secretary Sheila Harsdorf.

IGNITE is scheduled to take place on a biennial basis.
