In 1981, a group of forward-thinking executives who headed St. Louis-based corporations and associations believed that an organization was needed to provide a forum for interaction and discussion of important agricultural issues. This organization has also been the impetus behind attracting agricultural companies and associations to the St. Louis area and has played an important role in helping government leaders better understand the importance of agriculture to our nation.
Agribusiness in the St. Louis region accounts for 12% of the total area economic output ($23 billion in total sales) and 20% of the region's workforce. The Septermber, 2008, issue of the St. Louis Commerce Magazine and the March, 2007 issue of the the St. Louis Commerce Magazine just highlighted the food and fiber industry. THANK YOU to Richard Fleming, CEO of the St. Louis Regional Chamber and Growth Association(RCGA), for this special edition magazine.
Situated in the heart of American agriculture, the club today provides educational, networking and professional development for members, and promotes a positive image for this key industry. Invest in the future for just $50 per year. Join forces with 260 leading agribusiness professionals, as we: network at monthly luncheon meetings, stay current with agricultural industry topics and inform the public about the food, fiber and biofuel industries.
Our next meeting is Tuesday, December 9, 2008, at the Doubletree Hotel at Westport.
