We recently gathered at the Skirvin Hotel for our annual OKFB Leadership Conference. If you were able to attend, then you already know what a great line up of speakers and guests we had join us. We were also able to see many friends and familiar faces whom we had not seen since we gathered in Norman last November. I want to thank each and every one of you who took time to travel and participate in our meeting. That includes our elected officials who took time out of their hectic schedules to visit with us about the federal and state issues that are affecting you and the Farm Bureau.
Congressman Mullin kicked off the event with news from Washington, D.C. We have visited with the Congressman many times on issues relating to OKFB. Congressman Mullin filled us in on what we need to be doing in the future to continue to work on issues such as water, EPA over regulation, WRDA and a few others. We need to remember that the Congressman has worked hard for us and voted with us when we have asked. We appreciate the work he does.
