On January 19, 2024, our business community gathered for the annual SAIF Agri-Business Banquet, presented by KeyBank, to recognize and celebrate our region and state’s incredible agricultural industry!
The evening included a cocktail reception, an impassioned speech by Oregon FFA Vice President and PGE’s Powering the Future Scholarship Recipient Kylie Temple, live music provided by Roundhouse Band, a keynote presentation on Oregon’s hazelnut industry by George Packing Company Hazelnuts President Larry George, and a fantastic event emcee in Jordan Truitt, Principal Broker at First Commercial Real Estate.
Thank you to all of our sponsors for making this annual event possible!
