 year is that the full court press of activities comes in March and April with the Agri-Marketing Conference being the culmination of the year's activities. The conference is the time to catch up with friends, learn about what's new in the industry and network with your peers.

This is also the perfect time to join NAMA or get involved with your local chapter or national organization. The future of the organization depends on volunteers. Committees will be forming and chapters appointing leaders so don't hesitate to raise your hand and volunteer.

Yes, I know. March is a busy time of year and it's hard to make room for one more meeting, trade show or volunteer position. But, in keeping with the spirit of March Madness March Madness may refer to:
  • NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship
  • NCAA March Madness series, an EA Sports basketball video game series
  • Mega March Madness, pay-per-view package

* Increased membership. This year the committee has been fully focused on membership. This commitment has spurred programs like the NAMA Advocate program.
