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 ALL OVER 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 IDEAG 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 ANNUALLY AT OUR NATIONAL 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 TOP TALENT AS KEYNOTE SPEAKERS. LEADERSHIP, EDUCATION & ENGAGEMENT - AS PUBLIC INTEREST IN THE FOOD SYSTEM - AND SPECIFICALLY IN SUSTAINABILITY - CONTINUES TO DRIVE RAPID CHANGE, IT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER FOR FARMERS AND RANCHERS TO FEEL COMFORTABLE ENGAGING WITH THE PUBLIC, POLICYMAKERS, AND MEDIA. AFBF PROVIDES INTENSIVE LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AND EFFECTIVE OUTREACH TRAINING, 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 0 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 1 172 0 1 145 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 31 30 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 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 595328 0 39452 DALE MOORE EXECUTIVE VP (TO JUN '22) 40.00 5.00 X 430365 0 69732 ELLEN STEEN GREER GENERAL COUNSEL & SECRETARY 40.00 5.00 X 370804 0 74422 KATHLEEN J CULLINS CFO & TREASURER 40.00 5.00 X 348311 0 46986 MARGARET WOLFF VP, LEAD, EDUC AND ENGAGE 40.00 5.00 X 257129 0 110863 TERRI MOORE VP, COMMUNICATIONS 40.00 5.00 X 271099 0 31122 SAMUEL KIEFFER VP, PUBLIC POLICY 40.00 5.00 X 244220 0 34842 BRIAN ANDERSON ED, TECHNOLOGY 40.00 5.00 X 223770 0 41136 TRAVIS CUSHMAN DPTY GEN COUNS, LIT & PUBLIC AFFAIRS 40.00 5.00 X 223512 0 29809 MELISSA SANDERS CARROLL ED, BUS OPS, REV DEVELOPMENT 40.00 5.00 X 220072 0 23857 SCOTT VANDERWAL VICE PRESIDENT 2.00 2.00 X X 26650 0 0 JEFF AIKEN DIRECTOR (TO DEC '21) 2.00 1.00 X 19150 0 0 JON IVERSON DIRECTOR (TO JAN '22) 2.00 1.00 X 12600 0 0 ISABELLA CHISM DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 11050 0 0 MARK HANEY DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 10050 0 0 RODD MOESEL DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 9300 0 0 SHAWN HARDING DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 8250 0 0 WAYNE PRYOR DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 8250 0 0 MIKE MCCORMICK DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 7650 0 0 RYCK SUYDAM DIRECTOR (TO NOV '22) 2.00 1.00 X 7350 0 0 MARK MCHARGUE DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 5850 0 0 BRYAN SEARLE DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 5700 0 0 RUSSELL BOENING DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 4650 0 0 HARRY OTT DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 4500 0 0 TODD FORNSTROM DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 4050 0 0 DAVID FISHER DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 3750 0 0 RON GIBSON DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 3600 0 0 JOSEPH TISBERT DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 2700 0 0 JIM HARPER DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 2400 0 0 CARL BEDNARSKI DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 RICK EBERT DIRECTOR (TO NOV '22) 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAN GLESSING DIRECTOR (FROM JAN '22) 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD GUEBERT JR DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 CRAIG HILL DIRECTOR (TO DEC '21) 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 RICH HILLMAN DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAMIE JOHANSSON DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 BRENT JOHNSON DIRECTOR (FROM JAN '22) 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 ERIC MAYBERRY DIRECTOR (FROM JAN '22) 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 TOM MCCALL DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 JIMMY PARNELL DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALISHA SCHWERTNER DIRECTOR (FROM JAN '22) 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEFANIE SMALLHOUSE DIRECTOR 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 JEB SMITH DIRECTOR (FROM JAN '22) 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOBY YOUNG EXECUTIVE VP (FROM JUL '22) 40.00 2.00 X 0 0 0 3342110 0 502221 53 0 1 0 SAVILLS INC 1201 F ST NW STE 500 WASHINGTON DC 20004 CONSULTING SERVICES 942339 COGENT GLOBAL SOLUTIONS 1550 LARIMER ST STE 1082 DENVER CO 80202 PRODUCTION SERVICES 845495 MAYER BROWN LLP 2027 COLLECTION CENTER DR CHICAGO IL 60693 LEGAL SERVICES 268079 CORBETT TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS INC 4151 LAFAYETTE CENTER DR STE 700 CHANTILLY VA 20151 AUDIO VISUAL SERVICES 231827 PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP PO BOX 75647 CHICAGO IL 60675 PENSION ADMIN.
