The organization was given all six State Awards of Excellence handed out annually by American Farm Bureau Federation.
The
high honors for 2013 signify success in the categories of member
services, membership initiatives, education and outreach, leadership
development, policy development and implementation,
and public relations and communications. A panel of judges from
throughout the country evaluated New York Farm Bureau’s applications and
programming to determine the awards.
“The
fact that the American Farm Bureau Federation has recognized the
efforts of New York Farm Bureau, by awarding our organization all six
State Farm Bureau Awards of Excellence, only
confirms the effectiveness of our County Farm Bureau structure and the
dedicated efforts of our individual Farm Bureau members," said Jeff Kirby, executive director of New York Farm Bureau.
"NYFB will
continue to work tirelessly on behalf of New York agriculture, and we
will need the support and involvement of every
farmer going forward, in order to continue having great success in
representing New York’s agricultural community,” he said.
New York Farm Bureau will officially receive the awards in January at AFBF’s
95th Annual Convention in San Antonio, Texas.
