The 2022 PickTN Conference felt like a home coming event.  It was at this conference in 2020 that we officially stood up the TN state chapter of FVC.

It was great to reconnect with old friends and just as important to make new friends throughout the three day event.  

Our annual meeting on Friday was very inspiring and invigorating to me.  It was great to  see so many new people that were wanting to join in and engage in our efforts to help our fellow veterans grow in their farming careers.  

The current leadership team will be pulling together all of the information we gleaned and should be able to provide a slate of candidates for the full membership to vote on.   This will help to keep the chapter viable and growing as we work to create a new and better 'normal' post-COVID.  I look forward to seeing how the chapter will grow with this new infusion of energy and ideas. 

What did others learn from the conference and what visions do we have for the future of our chapter?
