AEM Senior Director of Ag and Utility Exhibitions and Events John Rozum recently assumed the role of  president for the National Agri-Marketing Association (NAMA).

Rozum, a longtime member of NAMA and a member of the organization’s Executive Committee since 2017, officially assumed the duties of NAMA president at the organization's 2023 Agri-Marketing Conference, held earlier this month in Kansas City. Rozum replaces outgoing NAMA President Deron Johnson of Curious Plot.

“I’m thrilled and humbled to help lead this growing organization, and grateful for AEM’s partnership with NAMA,” said Rozum. “It’s exciting to see so many AEM members among those who see NAMA as a valuable tool to help their marketing teams develop new skills and insights.”

Rozum has served as vice president of NAMA, and in addition to holding the role of president of the NAMA Badger chapter. He has also served as chair of the NAMA Chapter Services Committee and is a longtime member of the organization’s planning committees.

His work for AEM trade shows and exhibitions includes serving as Show Director for The Utility Expo and International Fluid Power Exposition (IFPE), and he leads the association’s efforts to support fellow show organizers in holding Commodity Classic.

Canada's Agriculture Day 2025

Video: Canada's Agriculture Day 2025

Let's celebrate Canadian agriculture.

Well, number one, you don't eat without farmers. Farmers put food on the table. And what could be more important than that?

Well, I think it's important that Canadians understand exactly what takes place, what happens to produce this food, no matter what sector you're talking about.

An awful lot of work goes into that. It's important to understand that meat does not come out of a showcase, and milk does not come out of a bottle. It's produced by farmers and hard work.

Canada has the best farmers in the world. And agriculture is vital to Canada.

In 2024, our agriculture and agri-food sector represented $150 billion of Canada's GDP, nearly $100 billion of our exports, and one in nine jobs.

From grains to fruits to dairy and beef, we are truly blessed with an incredible bounty. Having spent my whole life in agriculture, I see so much potential for the sector.

This time last year, I was proud to open our first-ever agriculture and trade office in the Indo-Pacific, the world’s fastest-growing economy, to cement our presence in the region and grow our exports even more. We've also been making historic investments to help our farmers to boost their yields, protect the planet, and earn a fair living.

The world wants more top-quality, sustainable food, and I know our Canadian farmers can deliver. And it's so important that you do that with pride. We need you.

Quite simply, you eat the most top quality food in the world. You do that because of the quality of farmers and ranchers you have in this country.

Just say thank you to a farmer or a rancher. They work very hard, yes, for a living, but also with a sense of pride in what they produce.

That's what Canada's Agriculture Day is all about.
