Online Community

We’ve created a Facebook group as a way to enhance a feeling of community. It is an open dialogue to share stories and ideas, request feedback on projects or questions, post upcoming industry events, offer interesting resources, and share job opportunities. Join the discussion here.

Networking

We’ll host mixers at AAEA events to connect young professionals before an event kicks off.

Professional Liaison: Serve as a liaison between new young professionals to committees in AAEA.

Student Liaison: Serve as a liaison between professionals and students in clubs/organizations with agricultural communication interests at colleges around the Midwest or country.
