July 29 – 31, 2019 – 59th Annual Board of Delegates Meeting

City Next to River on Sunny Day

Dear Members,

Please join us this summer for the 59th Annual Board of Delegates Meeting, scheduled for July 29 to 31 at the Hyatt Regency Cincinnati. We are excited to welcome you to this annual member meeting where we come together to discover and discuss the opportunities and challenges our industries must handle today and in the future.

This meeting will allow you critical time to participate with fellow delegates and Council staff on the prospects and hurdles facing U.S. agriculture. As you have heard again and again over the last year, When Trade Works, The World Wins, and there is no better event to prove this is true than this meeting where we are ready to highlight our global work with key partners to build new demand for coarse grains and co-products, including ethanol. Our A-Teams are also set to meet and provide staff direction on critical issues surrounding the specific commodities we represent and markets in which we are involved.

We rely on your guidance to help us uphold our commitment to develop markets, enable trade and improve lives as we serve our customers around the world. We look forward to your participation at this important time, so come offer your ideas to help increase and expand U.S. exports of corn, sorghum, barley, ethanol, DDGS and more!

See you in Cincinnati.

Sincerely,

Jim Stitzlein

Chairman
