This morning, at the Illinois Farm Bureau Annual Meeting, Young Leader IMG_3298Committee Chair Monica Stevens gave her farewell address and was awarded a plaque in recognition of her accomplishment this last year. Stevens' successes weren't the only ones celebrated. The IFB Young Leader Committee gave a variety awards.

County Chair Award
