IAOM at FFA Convention

We were at the 90th Annual Kansas FFA Association Convention on May 30 promoting the milling science industry. Hundreds of FFA members from across Kansas were at the Kansas State Alumni Center in Manhattan, Kansas, for the event.

We visited with around 150 FFAers during the expo – sophomores to seniors, recent graduates and high school ag teachers. We shared information about the Milling Technician certificate program at Cowley College, and about the K-State milling science degree program at K-State.

Those students interested in more information about the certificate program were able to visit with Cowley College representatives who were also exhibiting at the show. The next group of students will start the Milling Technician program in August 2018. High school juniors and seniors are even eligible for a tuition waiver through a Kansas government program.

All wrapped up in Atlanta

The 122nd Annual IAOM Conference & Expo in Atlanta, Georgia is wrapped up and put away, but memories of the event live on. All photos of the event are now available in the IAOM photo gallery on Flickr. Past year’s conference photos can also be accessed at this site.

Feedback from attendees is always an important part of making future gatherings more relevant and beneficial. Evaluations are gathering during the event, but IAOM always reaches out post-conference to anyone who did not have an opportunity to provide their input. Please take a moment to fill out and submit an evaluation survey.

For those who complete the survey and wish to share their name and contact information, a drawing will be held after June 15 for a FREE registration to the 123rd Annual Conference & Expo in Denver, Colorado in 2019! To be entered in the drawing, we must receive your completed evaluation by May 31.

Need to revisit an educational session you attended? Were you torn between two great sessions, but had to select just one? Now you can “attend” every educational session from Atlanta, as well as the Keynote Address given during the IMEF Breakfast.

Recorded presentations can be found by members in the IAOM Live Learning Center. You’ll also find presentations there from past conferences.
