GO Team Training, Cody Lyon, American Farm Bureau Federation

Farm Bureau created the Grassroots Outreach or GO Team to be effective in a new reality of advocacy -- having advocates trained to effectively interact with the media and understand best practices to influence lawmakers. This training session is for current GO Team members.  To find out how to join the GO Team contact your state Farm Bureau and visit the website to learn more: www.fb.org/advocacy/go-team
