ASTA’s new State Governmental Affairs Working Group will provide a forum for identification, discussion, and resolution of state and local seed issues, in coordination with the ASTA Legislative and Legal Concerns Committee.
Chaired by Richard Taylor, Southern Seed Association, the working group will develop and implement strategies to ensure the seed industry’s policy positions are fully addressed and communicated, and will explore opportunities for proactive partnerships and coalitions.
The group convened for the first time via conference call on October 19 to discuss structure, membership and ongoing/upcoming state and regional activities. Future meetings are scheduled for December and January. For more information, contact ASTA Director of State Affairs Pat Miller at pmiller@ameseed.org.
