SSGA communications team awarded

The Specialty Soya and Grains Alliance received two awards, including a first-place finish at the National Agri-Marketing Association (NAMA) Region 3 Best of NAMA 2021 awards, which were announced during an event on Jan. 18.

Working with Ag Management Solutions (AMS) in Mankato, Minnesota, SSGA was recognized for its twice-monthly e-newsletter, which received first place in the category of Company and Association Newsletters – External.

SSGA also received a merit award in the press release category for its Oct. 23, 2020 release which sounded the alarm on the supply chain crisis for ag shippers.

“Our team and the team at Ag Management Solutions have helped put SSGA on the map over the last two years, making sure that our alliance’s work and opportunities are communicated to a wide audience and that our members have a strong voice within the agricultural community,” said Eric Wenberg, SSGA executive director. “It’s gratifying to see them recognized by their peers for that effort.”

This was the first year AMS submitted SSGA entries to NAMA. Both of SSGA’s regional winners will move on to the Best of NAMA national competition. Those awards will be unveiled April 6-8 in Kansas City, Missouri.
