Franklin County Farm Bureau members Leon McClerren, Brad Browning, Michael Browning and Manager Parker Hutchcraft attended the 2024 Governmental Affairs Leadership Conference in Springfield, IL on Tuesday, February 20, 2024. They were able to learn about legislature dealing with agriculture and network with local legislators. We would like to thank State Senators Terri Bryant and Dale Fowler and State Representatives Dave Severin and Patrick Windhorst for attending!
On March 17 & 18 the Young Leaders helped sponsor a Hunter Safety Course with Rend Lake College. 61 students became certified and we were thrilled to be able to help. We would like to thank Nealy Hamson for putting on the class and helping keep the hunters safe! We were extremely happy for the huge class!
Brianna Walsh (manager) and Larry Miller (IAA Board Director) attended the Governmental Affairs and Leadership Conference on February 14 in Springfield, IL. While at the conference they were able to network with individuals around the state, attend breakout sessions that informed them on what's going on with policies and different topics that are important at this moment.
Lastly to end the event there was a reception that State Senators and State Representatives were invited at where Brianna and Larry were able to meet all four that represent Franklin County at the State Level. From February 20 through the 22 Fallon Summers, Wade Hutchens, Ike Hutchcraft, Parker Hutchcraft, Michael Browning, and Brianna Walsh all attended the Young Leader Conference in Peoria, IL.
While at the conference they were able to network with Young Leaders from around the state, listen to breakout sessions over various subjects, and hear from two key note speakers. They also competed in a Western Themed trivia night. To say the weekend was a blast is an understatement. The State Young Leader Committee put on a great conference. We are excited for next year! On December 3 through the 5 Michael Browning, Brad Browning, Kelly Robertson, and Leon McClerren represented Franklin County at the IAA Annual meeting in Chicago. Michael Browning was competing at the Discussion meet at the State Level. Brad, Kelly, and Leon were delegates on the floor where they discussed resolutions and ByLaw changes that the IAA proposed. They were able to voice their opinions. They all represented Franklin County well. |
