WE ARE FARM AND RANCH FAMILIES WORKING TOGETHER TO BUILD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE OF SAFE AND ABUNDANT FOOD, FIBER AND RENEWABLE FUEL FOR OUR NATION AND THE WORLD. 0 0 PUBLIC POLICY - POLICY IS CONTINUALLY EVOLVING AND HAS A DIRECT IMPACT ON AMERICA'S FARMERS AND RANCHERS. AFBF'S WORK IN WASHINGTON, D.C., IS DRIVEN BY THE POLICY PRIORITIES ESTABLISHED BY FARMER AND RANCHER MEMBERS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY AT AFBF'S ANNUAL MEETING OF VOTING DELEGATES. THESE DELEGATES ARE FAMILY FARMERS WHO OPERATE SMALL, MEDIUM, AND LARGE FARMS GROWING OR RAISING VIRTUALLY EVERY AGRICULTURAL PRODUCT PRODUCED IN AMERICA TODAY. THIS NATIONAL FARMER DELEGATE BODY IS WHAT ENSURES AFBF'S POLICY OBJECTIVES ARE TRULY DRIVEN BY THE INTERESTS OF AMERICA'S FARMERS. ONCE THOSE GOALS ARE SET, AFBF WORKS WITH STATE AND COUNTY FARM BUREAU ORGANIZATIONS NATIONWIDE TO ENGAGE FARMERS AND RANCHERS IN OUR POLICY ADVOCACY, ENABLING ALL OF AGRICULTURE TO SPEAK WITH ONE VOICE THROUGH AFBF. EVENTS - IDEAG GROUP LLC, AN AFFILIATE OF AFBF, DELIVERS AN OPTIMAL EXPERIENCE TO ATTENDEES, EXHIBITORS, AND THOUGHT LEADERS IN AGRICULTURE AT REGIONAL FARM SHOWS. INTERACTIVE, CONTENT-RICH, AND HIGH-VALUE PROGRAMMING IS THE CORNERSTONE OF EVERY SHOW. WE MAKE IT A PRIORITY TO CONNECT FARMERS AND RANCHERS TO TOP-NOTCH GOODS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY WHO CAN MEET THEIR NEEDS. WE DO THE SAME AT AFBF'S ANNUAL CONVENTION WHERE THOUSANDS OF FARM BUREAU MEMBERS AND OTHERS INTERESTED IN AGRICULTURE GATHER EACH JANUARY. CONVENTION ATTENDEES HAVE ACCESS TO CUTTING EDGE ANALYSIS, DEEP INSIGHTS, A BUZZING TRADE SHOW FLOOR, AND FIRST-RATE KEYNOTE SPEAKERS AND WORKSHOPS. LEADERSHIP, EDUCATION & ENGAGEMENT - AS PUBLIC INTEREST IN THE FOOD SYSTEM CONTINUES TO GROW - INCLUDING IN FOOD SECURITY, SUSTAINABILITY, NUTRITION, AND ANIMAL CARE, IT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER FOR FARMERS AND RANCHERS TO FEEL COMFORTABLE ENGAGING WITH THE PUBLIC, POLICYMAKERS, AND MEDIA. AFBF PROVIDES INTENSIVE TRAINING IN LEADERSHIP AND EFFECTIVE OUTREACH, STRENGTHENING THE ABILITY OF FARMERS AND RANCHERS TO CONNECT WITH CONSUMERS AND OTHERS IN A MEANINGFUL WAY. SKILLS LEARNED ARE APPLIED AT THE LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL LEVELS. 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 215 0 1 141 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 33 32 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X KATHLEEN J CULLINS 2024063600 600 MARYLAND AVE SW STE 1000W WASHINGTON DC 20024 VINCENT DUVALL PRESIDENT 40.00 5.00 X X 608552 0 31845 ELLEN STEEN GREER GENERAL COUNSEL & SECRETARY 40.00 5.00 X 383813 0 77726 KATHLEEN J CULLINS CFO & TREASURER 40.00 5.00 X 353556 0 49508 MARGARET WOLFF VP, LEAD, EDUC AND ENGAGE 40.00 5.00 X 265936 0 118446 DALE MOORE EXECUTIVE VP (TO JUN '22) 40.00 5.00 X 256145 0 57300 TERRI MOORE VP, COMMUNICATIONS 40.00 5.00 X 280063 0 30833 SAMUEL KIEFFER VP, PUBLIC POLICY 40.00 5.00 X 251401 0 56787 BRIAN ANDERSON ED, TECHNOLOGY 40.00 5.00 X 231615 0 45319 TRAVIS CUSHMAN DPTY GEN COUNS, LIT & PUBLIC POLICY 40.00 5.00 X 228256 0 39120 ROGER CRYAN CHIEF ECONOMIST 40.00 5.00 X 229491 0 5930 JOBY YOUNG EXECUTIVE VP (FROM JUL '22) 40.00 2.00 X 188729 0 12629 SCOTT VANDERWAL VICE PRESIDENT 2.00 2.00 X X 55150 0 0 SHAWN HARDING DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 22150 0 0 ISABELLA CHISM DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 17250 0 0 RUSSELL BOENING DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 17250 0 0 MARK HANEY DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 12900 0 0 RODD MOESEL DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 12750 0 0 ALISHA SCHWERTNER DIRECTOR (TO JAN '23) 2.00 1.00 X 11100 0 0 WAYNE PRYOR DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 10350 0 0 BRYAN SEARLE DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 9150 0 0 JEB SMITH DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 9150 0 0 MARK MCHARGUE DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 9000 0 0 ERIC MAYBERRY DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 8550 0 0 JIM HARPER DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 6600 0 0 RON GIBSON DIRECTOR (TO AUG '23) 2.00 1.00 X 6000 0 0 MIKE MCCORMICK DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 5550 0 0 DAVID FISHER DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 4950 0 0 DAN GLESSING DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 4350 0 0 HARRY OTT DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 4050 0 0 JOE TISBERT DIRECTOR (TO NOV '23) 2.00 1.00 X 3150 0 0 SCOTT MUGRAGE DIRECTOR (FROM JAN '23) 2.00 1.00 X 2400 0 0 TODD FORNSTROM DIRECTOR (TO JAN '23) 2.00 1.00 X 2250 0 0 MATT FIMON DIRECTOR (FROM JAN '23) 2.00 1.00 X 1400 0 0 CARLYLE CURRIER DIRECTOR (FROM OCT '23) 2.00 1.00 X 300 0 0 CARL BEDNARSKI DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 RICH FELTS DIRECTOR (TO DEC '22) 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD GUEBERT JR DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 RICH HILLMAN DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHRIS HOFFMAN DIRECTOR (FROM JAN '23) 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAMIE JOHANSSON DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 BRENT JOHNSON DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 KEVIN KRENTZ DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 RANDY KRON DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 TOM MCCALL DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOE NEWLAND DIRECTOR (FROM JAN '23) 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 JIMMY PARNELL DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEFANIE SMALLHOUSE DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 WAYNE STAFFORD DIRECTOR (FROM JAN '23) 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 3513307 0 525443 56 1 1 0 COGENT GLOBAL SOLUTIONS 1550 LARIMER ST STE 1082 DENVER CO 80202 PRODUCTION SERVICES 1143062 FREEMAN 9900 BUSINESS PKWY LANHAM MD 20706 CONVENTION SERVICES 440759 MAYER BROWN LLP 2027 COLLECTION CENTER DR CHICAGO IL 60693 LEGAL SERVICES 395448 GROUP SERVICES LLC COND SAN ALBERTO STE 721 CONDADO AV SAN JUAN PR 00907 CONVENTION SERVICES 357452 LEVY RESTAURANTS 285 ANDREW YOUNG INTERNATIONAL BLVD ATLANTA GA 30313 CONVENTION SERVICES- CATERING 259309 20 124000 124000 MEMBER DUES 900099 28979550 28979550 EVENTS 900099 5622163 4349041 1273122 FARMSHOW PROGRAM ADS 541800 116818 116818 34718531 1540984 1540984 21306 21306 SHARED SERVICES 900099 757080 757080 SUBLEASE INCOME 900099 67600 67600 WEB ADVERTISING 541800 500 500 94022 94022 919202 37324023 34085671 117318 2997034 331751 2517231 11319404 1080707 888093 942271 483714 114025 4271 351130 136313 722226 654764 2290827 4494844 4149698 751560 190650 DUES & SUBSCRIPTIONS 595299 OTHER TAXES & FEES 19287 TRAINING 15387 12271 32065723 6771595 2208287 9994352 19826423 145000 75000 1486122 1564580 2720000 2720000 2167872 1028631 8142293 7387305 891000 754988 43543346 46605482 14892220 14990555 99707 95285 4436000 3928377 273549 14583083 87420763 108380691 1896740 1677003 2430000 1766092 1530803 14998384 5857543 18441479 X 80696220 89131212 867000 808000 81563220 89939212 87420763 108380691 X 5258300 2235531 882161 X 0 1 X 1 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1 0 0 5807586 5674055 133531 2126876 1565759 561117 207831 147491 60340 754988 14990555 F 14990555 RIGHT-OF-USE ASSET -
