For next year we need ideas for 2024 seminar - location, topics, date, and how to recruit more attendees. Discussion ensued regarding strategies, paid ads, etc.
Wisconsinalpacafiberfest.com - Elden looking for the 2024 show dates. Tom Olson, Marcus Skildum and Pam Wariner will be leaving the board after this show, so start thinking of possible replacements. 2023 show should be quite successful, will be a good kick-off for 2024. Minnesota doesn't have an affiliate, could look to them. Check out new farms for possible recruits to help with show and GLAA.
