Get AMP’T!
Emerging leader? Aspiring executive? Prepare yourself to take that next step!
The Ohio AgriBusiness Association is pleased to offer its members a wide variety of leadership opportunities through the Advancing Modern Professionals for Tomorrow Program. The program offers leadership opportunities at all levels to prepare leaders to take the next step in their professional careers.
The AMP’T Program consists of the following programs:
Tomorrow’s agribusiness leader will need to be nimble and lead change in addressing workforce pressures, consumer demands, and governmental challenges, all while fostering networks and collaborative work styles. Emerging agribusiness leaders can build their skills through LAUNCH – Leaders Achieving Unexpected New Career Heights – to rise to the challenges and opportunities facing agribusinesses today and tomorrow.
OABA is pleased to partner with The Ohio State University Leadership Center, granting members access to outstanding professional development workshops. Beyond being able to register and attend online and inperson classes, OABA members also have special access to bring course selections to their locations or work with OABA to host an event in their area, open to the general membership.
Even though women have been working in agribusiness for decades, there are particular challenges that face women in professional agribusiness roles. Through small group discussions and input from members, OABA is pleased to offer a forum for women who are looking for resources from experts and peers alike to face these challenges - the Women Leading in Ohio Agribusiness program.
With members in mind, OABA has partnered with Crestcom International, a globally recognized leadership development organization, to offer Crestcom’s results-oriented, live facilitated leadership development program in a virtual environment.
The 12-month Crestcom Leadership Development program includes two live 2-hour courses each month for a total of 48 hours of interactive leadership development experiences.

Specialty Crop Block Grant Program
OABA advocates for its members on today’s top agribusiness issues.
OABA’s priority issues transcend local, state and national levels — prioritizing appropriate and responsible government spending, acceptance and permission to operate by the general public and a viable consumer.
BIOTECHNOLOGY
Breakthrough products and technologies improve crop insect resistance and herbicide tolerance and help facilitate environmentally sustainable farming practices. Strong advocacy education for biotechnology and its positive long-term benefits is crucial.
NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT
Properly managed fertilizer supports cropping systems that provide economic, environmental and social benefits. We recognize the 4R Nutrient Stewardship program as the foundation for all agricultural nutrient management practices.
REGULATION
Businesses must regularly navigate various federal, state, regional, city and other regulatory authorities for nearly everything they touch. The agriculture industry advocates for a more practical approach to sensible regulations to ensure we remain competitive with other states and countries.
TRADE
We work with our national partners to protect and expand market access for U.S. agricultural exports. In 2017 alone, U.S. food and agricultural export value exceeded $138 billion and created an estimated $177 billion in additional U.S. economic activity and represented the single largest U.S. manufacturing sector — constituting 12 percent of all U.S. manufacturing jobs.
TRANSPORTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE
The U.S. transportation infrastructure system has contributed to U.S. agricultural competitiveness and has provided a strong comparative advantage against foreign competitors for years. Today this infrastructure is facing significant challenges, including inadequate capacity to handle the growing levels of traffic and commerce, deteriorating road and bridge conditions and an antiquated national waterway structure.
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
Our agribusiness workforce has traditionally been made up of farmers or individuals who were raised on a farm. Today’s demographics and unfortunate misconceptions about agricultural jobs have created voids in both traditional agribusiness positions and newer, emerging fields such as biotechnology and precision agriculture. Ohio agribusinesses are struggling to fill current job openings, which tax our entire industry.

How to Host a Visit
On-site visits are a powerful way to introduce legislators and regulators to your agribusiness and its day-to-day operations. The Ohio AgriBusiness Association is pleased to coordinate on-site visits and will act as a liaison between you and the legislator’s office. If you are interested in hosting a visit at your facility, please contact Aaron Heilers at aheilers@oaba.net to begin scheduling.
Preparing for the Visit
Legislative visits are most powerful when you take time to plan the visit and prep your staff. See tips below for best practices:
Talk with OABA. Your association is a great resource for helping to plan your facility visit. OABA can provide talking points, advice for structuring the day, coaching for staff and more.
Inform your staff of the visit. Make sure all staff know the date and time of the legislative visit. Though you should take time to prep to anyone who will be involved in the visit, all staff should be aware you will be hosting an important visitor.
Plan the visit. Know where in the facility you will take your visitor and alert staff in those areas that you will be bringing the visitor through. See below for key elements to plan in your day.
Prepare your script. Have your “script” prepared for the day, everything from company details to regulations/issues you wish to feature. Ensure all involved in the visit know what they are responsible for.
Anticipate questions. Your visitors will likely have many questions about your operations and the issues your company faces. Think through what questions they may have and be prepared with answers.
Practice. Prior to the visit, plan a walkthrough of the day, visiting every area and talking through your script as a staff.
Clean the facility. Take extra time to make your facility presentable. Ensure there are no safety concerns or regulation violations.
Remind the day before. The day before the visit, remind your staff about the upcoming visit. You may encourage staff to wear their company shirts to show off their company pride.
During the Visit
Each visit will look different, but a successful visit will include the following:
Welcome and introductions. Upon their arrival, greet your legislator and their staff warmly — as if you were welcoming them into your home. Introduce them to all who will be involved in the day’s visit.
Company overview. Introduce the visitors to your company, your history, current operations, territory, staff size, community involvement... whatever you deem most important. This provides your visitors background on your operations.
Facility tour. As you are able, showcase all areas of your facility and explain their importance to your operation.
Question and answer. Leave ample time to allow your visitors to ask questions.
Take a picture and share it! Legislators love engaging with their constituents online and showcasing the visits they’ve conducted in their districts. Commemorate the visit with a photo in front of your facility sign and share it on your social media channels.
After the Visit
Send a thank you. Send a thank you note to your legislators’ office, thanking them for visiting and highlighting any key issues you discussed.
Continue the relationship. Site visits are a powerful tool and deepen your relationship with your legislators. Continue to engage with your legislators through phone calls, emails and office visits when the need arises.
ENGAGING IN ADVOCACY
How to Schedule a Meeting with a Legislator
State and national legislators make time for meetings with constituents as part of their duties as elected officials. As one of the most powerful ways to advocate for agribusiness policies, face-to-face meetings make your company and your issue more memorable to legislators.
It is important to note that the legislative staff is very important too — as they are trusted to research upcoming issues and share feedback with legislators. Whether you meet directly with your Senator or Representative or with their staff, you are building a relationship with the legislator and bringing greater attention to your legislative needs.
You can set up a meeting by following the steps below.
1. Find the Office That You Would Like to Visit
State legislators have an office at the Ohio Statehouse where you can schedule to visit. Similarly, U.S. Senators and Representatives maintain offices in their home states that allow their constituents to meet with them or their staff, as well as their offices in Washington, D.C. Visit your legislator’s website for more information.
If you do not know your legislators, use the links below to find out:
• Ohio Senate: ohiosenate.gov/senators/district-map
• Ohio House: house.state.oh.us
• U.S. Senate: senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm
• U.S. House: house.gov/representatives
2. Contact Your Legislator’s Office to Set Up a Meeting
Once you have chosen your local office, use the guide below to contact your legislator’s office to schedule a meeting.
Understand your legislator’s schedule. For state representatives, find out when they will be in their Columbus offices.
• Decide which office you’ll be visiting. While the legislature is in session, federal legislators will be in Washington, D.C., while state legislators will be in Columbus. While the legislature is in recess, legislators will likely be back in their local offices. You can check your senators’ and representatives’ websites to find out when they are on recess.
• Request a meeting. Most legislators’ websites include a “Request for Meeting” form that you can fill out online OR offer an email address for the person in charge of scheduling their appointments. Before calling your lawmaker’s office, fill out the form or send an email request for a meeting. If you are sending an email, it should contain the following:
• Your name and address (to show that you are a constituent)
• The issues you wish to discuss
• The office you wish to visit
• The dates that you can meet (include several dates or a wide time frame so that there is flexibility in scheduling the meeting)
• Follow up your request with a phone call. A day or two after you anticipate your communication has arrived, follow up with a phone call to your legislator’s local office. Ask for the person in charge of scheduling your lawmaker’s appointments.
• Write down the date, time and person you spoke with. If you have not heard back in a few days, call again to follow up. Be polite but persistent!
• Recognize that you might meet with a member of your legislator’s staff. Sometimes legislators may not be available and you will be scheduled to meet with a member of their staff. This is still a wonderful opportunity! Legislators rely heavily on their aides to make decisions as aides are policy experts. Your meeting with a staff member can inform his/her recommendations to your legislator and also build an important relationship with your lawmakers.
3. Confirm Your Appointment
The day before your meeting, call your legislator’s local office to confirm your appointment. Your legislator’s office may request a list of those who will be attending the meeting if there are attendees other than yourself.
4. Follow Up Your Meeting with a Thank You
After your meeting, be sure to send a thank-you letter to your lawmaker and/or your lawmaker’s staff. Thank them for taking the time to meet with you and re-iterate the asks that you made in your meeting. Your legislator and his/her staff will appreciate it — and it is a great way to remind them about your requests!
Lobbying 101
Ask for Support
• Know your objective. The purpose of the meeting is to gain the legislator’s support and commitment to vote for your position on the issue.
• Personalize the request. Face-to-face meetings are one of the best ways to communicate. Make certain the legislator understands you are there to demonstrate that this issue affects his or her constituency.
Be Brief… and Prepared
• Respect the legislator’s time constraints. You will probably only have a 15 to 20-minute meeting. Be on time and be prepared to make your points quickly and get your message across in 5 to 7 minutes.
• Make your points concisely and coherently. When possible, provide bill numbers and titles.
• Be knowledgeable about the issue. Know the facts and what the opposition is saying.
• Emphasize how the issue affects you. Explain the impact on your business, your employees and your community.
• Do not guess. If you are unsure about the answer to a question, offer to follow up with more information.
• Leave a fact sheet with the legislator. This sheet should summarize the issue.
Close the Deal
• Be persuasive. Present your viewpoint politely but convincingly. Speak concisely and with commitment. Stress the positive impact of the legislation you support and relate the negative impact of opposing the legislation.
• Be firm. Find out where your legislator stands on the issue. Ask what position and what action he or she will take. If the legislator does not yet have a position, ask when you can expect an answer.
• Listen carefully. Hear what the legislator says regarding his or her concerns and position. Unless you hear “I am with you,” do not count on the legislator’s vote.
• Follow up. Always send a thank you letter for the meeting. Include a brief summary of your position and any new information you may have.
12 Steps for an Effective Legislative Meeting
1. Introduce yourself and tell the elected official or their staff person who you are representing. Be certain to describe your operations, the location(s) and the number of employees and let them know of any special connections you may have with the legislator.
2. Start with a compliment. If the member is to receive an award, here is where you present it and thank them for their past support. If you voted for them, this is where you may want to tell them that. At the very least, thank them for taking the time to meet with you.
3. Take the initiative. State clearly and concisely what issues you want to discuss, what your position is and follow this with facts about why they should take your position.
4. State how the issue affects the member’s district or state. If possible, tell a personal story which highlights your experience with the issues and why you care about it.
5. Give the legislator a brief fact sheet that outlines your position.
6. Mention any other organizations, important individuals, government officials and legislators that support your position.
7. Be a good listener. After you make your pitch, allow the member to respond. Be sure to bring the conversation back to the issue at hand if the conversation veers off in another direction or the member attempts to evade the issue.
8. Answer any questions to the best of your ability, but if you are unable to answer, admit it. Offer to follow-up with the information and do so promptly.
9. Ask a direct question to which the legislator can respond “yes,” such as, “Can we count on your support?” Press politely for a commitment unless the member is clearly opposed to making your position or to making a commitment.
10. Always thank the member for their time at the end of the meeting, even if he or she did not agree with your position.
11. Record any information regarding the member’s position or view immediately after the meeting.
12. Always follow up with a prompt thank you letter.

To comply with all laws promulgated for the regulation and protection of agribusiness and to maintain an active interest in their enactment and enforcement.
To respect the roles of allied industries and professions in the service of agriculture so my contributions may be magnified by this cooperative effort.
To serve agriculture beyond my personal gain by actively promoting the improvement and consumption of its products.
To be worthy of success by enlarging my understanding, improving my efficiency and increasing my service.
