GreenStone Farm Credit Services recently received two National Agri-Marketing Association (NAMA) awards at the Regional Best of NAMA Awards Ceremony.
GreenStone was presented an award for its 2021 Annual Report in the category “Company Publications.” The report was published in March 2022 and followed an “Innovation” theme to highlight the tenacity of its customers following the hardship of the COVID-19 pandemic. The report featured in-depth stories from our customers and their journey navigating an unprecedented pandemic, along with our record-level earnings report for that year.
GreenStone also took home an award for its video “Unpacking Patronage with CEO Dave Armstrong” in the category “Audio/Video Feature or Testimonial.” This video was produced in collaboration with MessageMakers, a video production company in Lansing, Michigan. Patronage is a unique value GreenStone provides to customers where the cooperative returns a significant portion of earnings back to customers. In this video, then-CEO Dave Armstrong read and answered customers’ commonly asked questions about Patronage Day in a creative and humorous way.
“This is a well-deserved win for our marketing and public relations team,” said Travis Jones, President and CEO of GreenStone. “We are honored to have our annual report and this video recognized with a regional award. Our marketing and public relations team works hard each day to tell the GreenStone story and illustrate why our services are a cut above the rest. Our executive team could not be more proud of the teamwork across the association and with our customers.”
The Best of NAMA awards program honors the best work in agricultural communications. The national awards ceremony will take place on April 26 in St. Louis, Missouri.
