County & Township Executive Directors and Chairmen are invited to the

 Surus Summit on August 17th

During this bi-annual event we invest in bringing together the leadership of current Surus county and township partners from across the state, Executive Directors who are working in these geographies to help rebuild or improve these organizations, and Citizen Farmers. We lead a day of programming with some great speakers to share and discuss best practices across a variety of disciplines.

In bringing these organizations together, we provide the opportunity:

1. For camaraderie and community building, 
2. To deliver relevant and meaningful education and best practices with a focus on where we are in the election cycle, and 
3. To discuss key learnings and new product and services developed through our work together over the last several months and as we launch our expanded Battle Program

We encourage you to stick around the following day for Republican Day at the State Fair!

To confirm your attendance, please RSVP below!

Attendance is mandatory for all Executive Directors, and Chairmen are highly encouraged to attend. Dress code is business casual. There is no cost to attend this event.
