isda_logoThe Iowa State Dairy Association (ISDA) will hold its annual Policy Drafting Meeting on Wednesday, November 18. The meeting will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Iowa State University dairy farm classroom in Ames, Iowa. All ISDA members are invited to attend, lunch will be provided.

Attendees will review current policy and proposed resolutions, as well as draft new resolutions. This is an important meeting for ISDA members to share opinions and review ISDA policy. The 2010 legislative session starts in early January and it is essential for Iowa’s dairy industry to come together to draft resolutions that will drive the association’s initiatives in the year to come.

After the Policy Drafting Meeting, proposed resolutions will be sent to ISDA Annual Meeting Delegates for review. Final voting on resolutions will take place at ISDA’s annual meeting. No new resolutions will be accepted after the Policy Drafting Meeting.
