The National Agri-Marketing Association (NAMA) is pleased to announce that Monsanto has committed $10,000 a year, over the next three years, to both NAMA and ABEF. The company will become a Sustaining Partner with NAMA and will be the primary sponsor of the ABEF Student Competition.
"Monsanto is committed to sustainable agriculture," said Gary Sakin, Monsanto Marketing Communications Lead. "That means providing solutions for farmers that help them meet consumer demand today, while developing innovative products to meet future demands of our growing planet. Continued agricultural innovation requires strong leadership in agriculture, which is exactly what Monsanto's commitment to NAMA and ABEF is all about. NAMA events provide professional development opportunities for today's agribusiness leaders and ABEF is committed to helping prepare the agribusiness leaders of tomorrow."
"This is a tremendous statement of support to the Association and to the industry," commented Beth Burgy, Chief Operating Officer at Broadhead and current NAMA President. "It will give us the ability to reach out to even more individuals with our professional development and training offerings."
Mick Sibbel of UNICO Financial Services, Chair of the ABEF Board of Trustees, also expressed his appreciation and commented, "Since its inception, ABEF has been committed to advancing the skills of ag business college students and young professionals. The ABEF Student Competition is a cornerstone initiative, and we're absolutely thrilled to have this level of support for it."
