The Michigan Agri-Business Association (MABA) today announced an expanded slate of events in the coming weeks, and beyond, doubling down on our support of members and the broader industry. “As you invest in the Michigan Agri-Business Association, we are investing in your success,” said MABA President Chuck Lippstreu. “Your association will never be complacent and today’s announcement brings more events, more resources and more opportunities to members statewide. There is even more to come in the future. Whether it is at an Ag Club Breakfast, listening session lunch or training event, I hope to see you soon!” MABA announced the following today: Throughout the spring, Ag Club Breakfast events will head to West Michigan and Northern Michigan, including Hart (April 17) and Sears (June 26), in addition to the Lansing Ag Club Breakfast (May 12). In March, MABA will host member listening sessions in Jackson (March 26) and Bad Axe (March 27), bringing MABA’s work directly to the Thumb and south-central Michigan, and giving you a direct line to our team. Lunch will be served at both events! In April, industry-leading grain evaluation training will return across mid-Michigan (April 9) and the Thumb (April 14), in partnership with North Dakota Grain Inspection (NDGI). These trainings are always well-attended and reflect the industry’s commitment to serving Michigan farmers. In May, People Spark Consulting will bring its insights to a special workshop in concert with the May 12 Lansing Ag Club Breakfast. This workshop received high marks from members at the recent MABA Winter Conference and due to strong member demand, we are offering another opportunity to hear from People Spark. Looking beyond the spring, MABA will once again host the Educational Trust Scholarship Golf Outing on June 16; return to Detroit for an Ag Club Breakfast on July 22; and cohost breakfast at the AgroExpo on August 12.
