71st Convention Recap

Susan Littlefield, 2015 NAFB President

As I drove home Sunday after convention, a song kept playing over and over in my head, You've Got a Friend In Me. I overheard a student conversation about how we all work so well together, sharing audio and equipment. One student said you wouldn't see that in any other media group, they are right. What we do as Farm Broadcasters is so unique, yet we are willing to go the extra mile to help out someone who will air the same story we just worked on.
