The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation (WFBF) has selected four college students as its Event Ambassadors for the fourth year of the program.
Amalia Draxler, Brooke Mallek, Cassidy Finke and Hannah Yeager will create social media content highlighting the WFBF Annual Meeting & YFA Conference, scheduled for December 4-7, 2026, at the Kalahari Resort and Convention Center in Wisconsin Dells.
The program provides college students with practical experience in event coverage, agricultural communications, and digital content creation. Ambassadors will use social media platforms to share event highlights, capture photographs, produce engaging content, and identify compelling stories throughout the conference.
Selected students are expected to demonstrate strong writing and photography skills, understand social media strategy, and work effectively in a fast-paced environment.
