The Southwest Chapter held a chapter breakfast meeting on Tuesday, August 4, in conjunction with the Ag Media Summit in Fort Worth, Texas.

Approximately 20 members participated in the meeting during which officers were elected.  In addition, initial programming plans for the year were determined.  Quarterly meetings will kick off in September with a tour of the State Fair Grounds.

Some of the other options that will be pursued include:  tours of a cheese factory, a Texas Wine Country tour and/or the Southwest Airlines headquarters.  Attendance at a livestock auction is also being considered.  In addition to tours and chapter meetings, the chapter will continue their involvement with the student chapters in both Texas and New Mexico.  This includes helping the student chapter prepare for the marketing competition in April each year.
