Since the early settlers\, agriculture has been a staple for our economy and one that today\, continues to put our region on the map. \n\n\n\nAs the Farm-to-Fork capital\, the Sacramento region doesn't just embrace the fruits of it's labor\, we celebrate them. Join us as we explore agriculture's economic footprint in our region and the growing impact it can have in our community.\n\n\n\nKeynote Speaker\n\nJim Wiesemeyer\, Sr. Vice President\, Informa Economics\n\nA nationally recognized expert on agriculture and policy\, Wiesemeyer will identify the macro factors impacting agriculture in the next several years and break down those most likely to affect the crops and businesses in the Capital Region.\n\n \n\nPanel Discussion\n\nModerator Rob Stewart\, KVIE will lead a discussion focused on the bounty of the region and the economic impact agriculture holds in our regional economy.\n\n Donald Bransford\, Bransford Farms\n\nChristopher Cabaldon\, Mayor of West Sacramento\n\nDr. Helene Dillard\, UC Davis\n\nMichael Passmore\, Passmore Ranch\n\nChris Turkovich\, Turkovich Family Wines\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nTHANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS\n\n\n\nPRESENTING LEVEL\n\n\n\n\n\nPREMIER LEVEL\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPROGRAM LEVEL\n\nCalifornia Cannabis Industry Association\n\nCalifornia Rice Commission\n\nCapitol Public Radio\n\nComstock's Magazine\n\nF & M Bank\n\nKVIE Public Television\n\n\n\nEVENT LEVEL\n\nDowney Brand\n\nUC Davis/UC Davis Health System\n\n\n\nEXECUTIVE LEVEL\n\nAg Association Management\n\n Boutin Jones\n\nCalifornia Bank & Trust\n\nCity of Woodland\n\nCounty of Sacramento\n\nFirst Northern Bank\n\nHoney Agency\n\nInterWest Insurance Services\, LLC\n\nKronick Moskovitz Tiedemann & Girard\n\nLocal McDonald's Restaurants\n\nPricewaterhouseCoopers\, LLC\n\nSMUD\n\n\n\nFor Event information\, contact Julie Lofgren (916) 319-4277 or jlofgren@metrochamber.org\n\n\n\nFor Sponsorship information\, contact Susan Harris (916) 826-5410 or sharris@metrochamber.org\n\n \n\nDownload Event Flyer Here\n\nDownload Sponsorship Opportunities Here X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:\n
