YOUR INVITATION TO ATTEND...
We cordially invite you to join with one another March 15-17, 2020 at theWoodlands Resort, a new location, in The Woodlands, Texas. The topics,speakers, information and format will allow you and your family anopportunity to gain a wealth of knowledge, while also allowing for plenty oftime for relaxation. We look forward to hosting this meeting in a brand-new location! Bring theentire family to enjoy five pools, a lazy river and water park, 36 holes ofaward-winning golf, with 1,000 acres of shopping, restaurants, andentertainment nearby. The Woodlands Resort is just 40 miles from theHouston Livestock Show and Rodeo (March 3-22, 2020) AND you don’t haveto drive in Houston traffic. This year’s theme, “Co-ops: Providing the Mechanism to MoveAgriculture,” captures how cooperatives restore a profit and a confidence inagriculture! The very nature of the co-op business structure---farmer-owned, farmer-directed, a shared-recipient of margins---gives members apowerful advantage in a risky sector of the economy. Keynotes include a well-known advocate for farmers, a noted ag economist,and a high-flying Navy Seal with expertise in leadership in high-risk, high-consequence environments. Breakout sessions cover labor, legal, and taxissues facing co-ops, and a debut of TACC’s results from our 2019Compensation Study. We encourage you to make plans to come to The Woodlands to rechargeyour batteries, ask the tough questions, and participate in the celebration!Please take time to review the enclosed materials, talk to your friends, thenregister to be a part of the attractions, the momentum, and the success of themeeting.
