In a 2021 Annual Meeting update from Britt Raybould, 2020 NPC President, stated “… as we prepare for the 2021 Annual Meeting, which will elect next year’s set of grower leaders, we’ve needed to make some hard decisions based on currently available information. As such, we have decided to move the meeting to coincide with the Potato D.C. Fly-In in February.”
“Although we are still planning on an in-person component for Potato Expo,” she continued, “moving the Annual Meeting to the Potato D.C. Fly-In will allow those who may not feel comfortable traveling in January to potentially join us the following month. Additionally, the change will allow our leadership, staff, and state partners to focus the Annual Meeting’s discussions on the policy priorities and concrete actions that will maximize our ability as we continue to Stand Up for Potatoes on Capitol Hill.”
