Proceeds from the Forum benefit the Agriculture Institute for research and the promotion of Florida agriculture.

 

 

2009  AIF ANNUAL MEETING
and LUNCHEON

Thanks to everyone who made this year's meeting a success!

New technology - and economic necessity - have brought about profound changes in the traditional media which have dramatically impacted how journalists work and how news is covered.  In his presentation Being Heard in a ChanginFaulmanng Communications Landscape, this year's keynote speaker Bruce Faulmann, former publisher of Florida Trend magazine, offered insights on what these changes mean for agriculture and how the industry should be adapting, as well as offering tips for getting our stories to the media and the public. Before joining the magazine in November 2008, Bruce spent 24 years in the daily newspaper business.  He served as Senior Vice President of Advertising for the Tampa Tribune prior to joining Florida Trend.
