The
Process:
Florida
Farm Bureau staff and leaders get their "marching orders"
from the policy book. Policies are adopted annually through a process
that is designed to reflect and act upon concerns and issues that
affect producers throughout Florida. Issues are introduced in resolutions
developed by FFBF Advisory Committees and county Farm Bureaus.
These
resolutions are compiled into a workbook that is mailed to all county
Farm Bureaus several weeks before the convention. At the convention,
voting delegates meet and discuss the workbook during Resolutions
meetings. Finally, the resolutions are voted into policies.
Advisory Committees:
Florida
Farm Bureau's Advisory
Committees play a big role in the policy development process.
Committee members are experts in their commodity or area of expertise
and keep Federation staff attuned to pending needs of the agricultural
community. They advise the voting delegates on resolutions that
may become policies, and help inform the state board of directors
on specific issues.
