Advocacy
Creating champions, increasing engagement
Impact
At Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥, we know that governmental policies and regulations have an impact. It is imperative that we educate policymakers about the impact of legislation, rules and regulations. The Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ government affairs team amplifies the voice of Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ and our owners so that the viewpoint of farmers, ranchers and rural communities is clearly heard.
Your engagement
People connecting with policy. It isn’t just a phrase, it’s an action plan that strengthens the relationship between Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ and policymakers. The Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥PAC, the political action committee of Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥, provides employees and producers an opportunity to join with others to bring the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ voice to the forefront.

Developing future cooperative leaders
The Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ New Leaders political advocacy trips to Washington, D.C., with the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ government affairs team provides an opportunity for current and future cooperative leaders to connect with members of Congress and administration officials about issues that impact our farmer-owners’ businesses and the cooperative system. The political advocacy program is designed for alumni of the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ New Leaders Forum.
