  1. Comments/Suggestions

    The IAAE Board has voted to conduct all of next year's Ag Ed Conference at the FFA Enrichment Center. Please offer any comments you may have. The vote was unanimous, so we are not expecting as much turmoil as the move from Hotel Fort Des Moines to Ames...way back when.


    If you have a "concern" please offer a "solution". A "concern" without a suggested "remedy" is a complaint that is likely to be ignored. The IAAE Board has already voted, this vote cannot be changed.
