In her new position, Finley works behind the scenes on administrative needs for policy development. In addition, she assists in AgELECT fundraising efforts and with INFB’s lobbying efforts on the state and federal level.

“In my short time here, I feel I’ve already been able to expand my knowledge on the agricultural needs of our state,” said Finley.
