OTA Policy Conference and Hill Visit Days a rousing success

  Supported by: 




On April 14-15, the organic industry convened in Washington, D.C. for OTA’s Policy Conference and Hill Visit Days. Prominent speakers such as Kathleen Merrigan, Dr. Temple Grandin and Rep. Rosa DeLauro spoke to the over 80 conference attendees about timely public policy and advocacy issues. After OTA and OFRF legislative experts prepared attendees to deliver the industry’s Fiscal Year 2011 appropriations requests, over 50 participants took to the Hill to advocate for organic in more than 60 meetings with members of Congress and their staff. OTA also recognized journalist Marian Burros with an Organic Truth Award, and honored Congressmen Collin Peterson with the 2010 Public Servant Award, in addition to celebrating the many organic milestones of 2010 including OTA’s 25th anniversary. OTA tweeted from the event. View the final agenda for more details.
