Virginia Agribusiness Council 2024 Legislative Appreciation Banquet

January 11, 2024 • Main Street Station • Richmond, VA

On January 11, 2024 we were privileged to participate in the Virginia Agribusiness Council’s 52nd Annual Legislative Appreciation Banquet.

Thanks to TruGreen, we were one of two reception sponsors.

A benefit of that level of sponsorship was having a display table by the entrance and next to the main staircase. Our logo was also on signage and on napkins.

Our industry was well represented:

• N.A.L.P and the VTC Environmental Institute had tables on the front row next to the stage

• TruGreen was recognized as the awards sponsor

• Patrick Connelly and Virginia Green were given awards

• We had fantastic opportunities to interact with legislators from both sides of the political aisle.
