It’s already been a busy 2020 for the National Biodiesel Board—a time of travel, relationship building, and extending the conversation about biodiesel and renewable diesel to a wide array of audiences across the country. Trade shows and conferences are in full swing, with industry professionals pouring in to talk about what the future has in store. With all the industry events taking place nationwide, members can be sure trade association staff is on the move representing biodiesel, one conversation at a time.
Through sponsorships, expo booths, and a variety of speaking engagements, the National Biodiesel Board has ensured that biodiesel messages get heard by key audiences. This spring, key leaders in the industry represented biodiesel at United Soybean Board meetings, Commodity Classic, Climate Leadership Conference, the National Association of Fleet Administrators Institute & Expo, the National Association of Farm Broadcasters Washington Watch, Advanced Bioeconomy Leadership Conference, Advancing Renewables in the Midwest, the Advanced Clean Transportation Expo, and much more.
“Trade association staffers have their boots on the ground at these meetings providing industry updates and showcasing NBB’s new vision with the goal to reach 6 billion gallons of biodiesel and renewable diesel by 2030,” said NBB CEO Donnell Rehagen. “The NBB executive team is committed to working closely with all members and partners to make this goal a reality as biodiesel continues to grow.”
