The Virginia Agribusiness Council is excited to host a new series of regional events! Council Connections will provide attendees with a unique opportunity to interact one-on-one with representatives from their district. Guests will receive a legislative update from the Council and hear brief comments from local legislators.
Like the member/prospect receptions that were started last year, these events are designed to provide current and prospective members with an opportunity to network with local agribusiness leaders, industry colleagues, and council staff, while learning more about the organization and the member benefits. This new event format will be less formal, allowing for a more natural flow of conversation and dialogue amongst guests and with elected officials. There is no charge to attend (feel free to bring guests), but please register online.
