WMMB Dairy Promotion Conferences Recap

The recent WMMB Dairy Promotion Conferences held the attention of more than 150 attendees who engaged at the three meetings held in DeForest, Eau Claire and Green Bay. Thank you to those who attended and returned evaluations to help us improve programming for the future. Below are the overall results for each of the presentations.

The afternoon also brought together the individuals from each county group to develop SMART goals for specific activities. It was evident that individuals were excited about this activity and wanted to take these worksheets back to their county to work on together for all their activities.

Contact Map

We heard the desire from promotion groups to have more individualized attention. Therefore, we have enlisted the assistance of the Wisconsin Dairy Council staff and created regions of counties that can work more closely with a representative in their area. This map shows each of the regions and provides the contact information of the person at WMMB who will be engaging more directly with each region. Please consider inviting these individuals to some of your meetings.  CDPG Contact Map

WMMB Looking for Host Farms *Reminder*

The regional program managers (RPMs) with the Wisconsin Dairy Council of WMMB are looking for some farms in each region that are willing to host a farm tour for the FUTP60 kids. If you have, or know of a dairy farm, that would be able to host these children for about an hour and a half with a tour, have a place for this kids to gather and discuss their programs and sample cheese, please contact Laura Wilford at lwilford@wmmb.org .

If you have questions about this newsletter, would like more information, or have topic ideas, please contact Laura Wilford, lwilford@wmmb.org or Brenda Murphy, bmurphy@wmmb.org , 608-836-8820.
