ISDA to Hold Policy Drafting Meeting

ISDA will hold its annual Policy Drafting Meeting on Wednesday, November 10. The meeting will take place from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Iowa State University dairy farm classroom in Ames. All ISDA members are invited to attend, lunch will be provided.

Attendees will review current policy and proposed resolutions, as well as draft new resolutions. This is an important meeting for ISDA members to share opinions and review ISDA policy. The 2011 legislative session starts in early January and it is essential for Iowa’s dairy industry to come together to draft resolutions that will drive the association’s initiatives in the year to come.

After the Policy Drafting Meeting, proposed resolutions will be sent to ISDA Annual Meeting Delegates for review. Final voting on resolutions will take place at ISDA’s annual meeting.

In order to get an accurate count for lunch and meeting handouts, please RSVP to Jessica Bloomberg by calling (515) 971-3620 or email jessicab@iowadairy.org.
