Farm Bureau
Celebrates
Another
Successful
Annual Meeting
More than 300 members and friends of the
West Virginia Farm Bureau (WVFB) gathered on
November 13,14 and 15 at the Days Inn Conference
Center in Flatwoods, WV, to conduct their 96th
Annual Meeting.
The most important activity conducted during
the Annual Meeting was the review of current
policies and the addition of new policies by the
voting delegates. The policies adopted by WVFB
delegates originate at the grassroots level and define
the organization’s position on a variety of concerns,
including agriculture, taxes, highways, and public
issues.
Elections for state leadership positions were held
on the last day of the meeting. The voting delegates
chose Charles Wilfong of Pocahontas County to
serve as president and John Pitsenbarger of Nicholas
County to serve as vice president.
Regions 2, 3, 4 ,6 and 8 had the task of choosing
directors to serve on the WVFB board. Elected from
Region 2 were Dennis Funk and Steve Conrad; from
Region 3, John Pitsenbarger and Philip Gregg; from
Region 4, David Ash and Mike Merinar; from Region
6, Ralph Blair and Woody Ireland and from Region 8,
Charles Wilfong, Paul Canterbury and Joe Clay.
