Volunteer to be a Member Expert
Do you want to be able to use your expertise to help a member of the media interested in the agricultural and applied economics topics you’re involved with every day?
We are creating a list of member experts for the AAEA Communicating Out Strategy. The AAEA Business Office is frequently contacted by members of the media looking for a source for stories they’re working on.
If you are interested in the possibility, please take a look at this quick list to let us know what topics you would be willing/available to talk about if a journalist is looking for help: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/N5VKF8Y
For more information about the survey, or to learn more about the Communicating Out Strategy, please contact Allison Scheetz in the AAEA Business office at ascheetz@aaea.org or (414) 918-3190.
