Each year, the United States Potato Board hosts an Annual Meeting for the organization’s full 110-member Board of Directors. These are potato growers from across the nation and leaders from the potato industry’s state and national organizations. For two days, these industry members meet to discuss how the Board’s programs are increasing demand for potatoes and potato product and expanding markets for their productions.
The US Potato Board, which is headquartered in Denver, Colorado, is the marketing arm for American potato growers. Webolutions® manages, maintains and optimizes the Board’s Website, www.PotatoGoodness.com.
At this year’s Annual Meeting, Webolutions® Director of New Media Strategies, Mike Hanbery, will deliver a presentation to the Board on:
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO) fundamentals
