ACI is hitting the road and hosting a series of regional meetings around the state! Our hope is that these meetings will facilitate grassroots communication between ACI members, allow members to hear from state and local elected officials and local agencies, and give members information on a range of topics pertinent to your organizations and specific to your region. This meeting is not just for ACI members, and, while some of the content is regional, you don't need to be from the area to attend. Please make plans to join us, and invite your agribusiness contacts, too!
This meeting is free to attend, but registration is required to get an accurate count for lunch. Thursday, September 5, 2024
