14 Dec Join us for our first, and hopefully only, virtual Legislative Action Day in 2021
Kansas Agribusiness Retailers Association (KARA), Kansas Grain and Feed Association (KGFA) and the Kansas Cooperative Council (KCC) are modifying their annual Legislative Action Day to a one-hour, online event held from 11:00 a.m. – Noon via Zoom on Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2021.
“We, along with legislative leadership, have determined it would be in the best interest of our membership and those who work inside the Kansas Statehouse to make a one-time modification to the format of our 2021 Legislative Action Day and make it an online event,” KARA President and CEO Ron Seeber said. “This year, maybe more than any other in recent memory, it’s important for our industry to have a strong presence with lawmakers. We strongly encourage you to not only join our virtual Legislative Action Day, but also reach out and make personal connections with your legislators on behalf of agribusiness.”
Unfortunately, due to a rising conflict, Kansas Governor Laura Kelly had to forfeit her scheduled remarks, but Kansas Senate President Ty Masterson (R-Andover) and Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt are slated to speak.
