The MABA Sustaining Sponsor Program has been a tremendous success for several years, both in terms of participation, and helping you better plan your expenditures and contributions. It’s an easy, straightforward way to support our activities, while supporting your Association and helping keep registration fees affordable. With your generous support, we continue to expand MABA communication and program offerings. This year, we fully returned to in-person activities while maintaining some additional virtual and hybrid opportunities, thanks to your support. We also remain a highly effective voice for agriculture in Lansing. Your support is critical to make these activities possible. We continue to highlight our Sustaining Sponsors wherever we go, from Lansing, to events around the state, and even in Washington, DC.
