ACTION TEAM Applications Due Today

Applications Due Frtiday, December 9, 2011

If you've got a special skill or a great idea to promote agriculture or Farm Bureau, the ACTION TEAMs are for you. Worried about the time commitment? These teams are still for you. In fact, they are a perfect fit…

The Illinois Farm Bureau ACTION TEAMs are made up of four teams with 10-15 volunteers on each. They meet for one day, twice a year - and turn unique ideas and experiences into a year of activities and amazing results.

There are four teams to choose from, including:

Quality of Life - If your passion is farmer health and safety, help spread the word.

Public Relations - If you're passionate about the farmer's image, here's your chance to show it.

Membership - If you see the value in your IFB membership, help others do the same.

Education - If you want to educate the adult public about agriculture, then this is the team for you. (The photo above shows a sign that this team developed to promote agriculture at local vineyards.)

Your team meets twice a year to brainstorm and develop a plan for one or two statewide projects. The IFB staff then begins its work to help make your ideas a reality. If your proposal is approved by the IFB Board, it is then set into action to produce great results.

Download the Action Teams Brochure/Application. Applications must be turned in to your county Farm Bureau today, December 9. Your county Farm Bureau president will also need to sign the application.
