The Agribusiness Issues Forum was held Friday at the Mill Restaurant at Buehler's Fresh Food Market in Buehler's Fresh Food Market in Ashland.

The discussion included the roles of the board members of Directors of Corporations, Cooperatives, Farms and Associations. 

Strive Consulting Partner Cathie Leimbach says her focus for the forum was the role of the board members. She says board members have the primary leadership role in their organization.

Leimbach says she acknowledges the wonderful contributions board member's make to the community because without their willingness we wouldn't have the flourishing organizations that we have in the agribusiness sector.

The forum is coordinated by the Small Business Development Center, Natural Resource Conservation Service, BIOOHIO, CIFT, OARDC and Braintree Business Development Center.
