The Leadership Institute was held in Washington D.C. on September 12-16. This premier educational event has been sponsored by Pioneer/DuPont with detailed and passionate leadership for 17 years. We met with our elected officials from both the House and Senate. Stephen Frerichs, AgVantage, LLC, Alexandria, Virginia positioned our meetings on Tuesday to focus on the Hill and Politics and Wednesday on the Budget and Rule Making. Stephen's relationship with political staff in Congressional offices and professional staff provides ASFMRA with great opportunity to be heard in DC.!
