AFBF wins award with ambassador outreach

Silver award for AFBF’s social media engagement

By Farms.com

The American Farm Bureau Federation’s (AFBF) innovative approach to engaging young agricultural leaders has earned it the Power of Associations Silver Award.

Through its Social Media Ambassador Program, AFBF leverages the voices of Collegiate Farm Bureau members to amplify the significance of its leadership conference and the broader goals of the organization.

Ambassadors, selected for their dynamic social media influence, play a crucial role in documenting and sharing the enriching experiences of the annual conference.

This initiative not only boosts visibility for AFBF’s mission but also actively involves young leaders in a narrative of growth and community contribution.

AFBF President Zippy Duvall commends these young leaders for their commitment to showcasing the critical learning and networking opportunities available at the conference.

The program significantly aids in their professional and personal development while simultaneously advancing the Farm Bureau’s outreach objectives.

The award, coordinated by the American Society of Association Executives, celebrates AFBF’s effective use of social media to foster significant industry and societal advances.

The recognition spotlights the crucial role of associations in driving professional and community development, set to be honored at a gala in Washington, D.C. This accolade underscores the AFBF’s commitment to cultivating a new generation of agricultural leaders through innovative and inclusive strategies.
