To broaden the opportunity for our members and leaders to participate in Farm Bureau policy development and to update them on current issues, we have scheduled an upcoming series of relatively short policy development webinars on current issues surfaced by both the 2017 Illinois Farm Bureau Resolutions Committee and IFB staff.

These webinars will be presented live at 12 p.m. each Friday over the next six weeks. In addition, they will be recorded for playback and posted for members’ use on this web page. These short presentations are designed for use at your county Farm Bureau board meetings, Viewpoint sessions, and as “on-demand” viewing.
