Dairy Counts in 2004
IDFA encourages member involvement.
With the November 2
election quickly approaching, the International Dairy Foods Association
(IDFA) strongly encourages its member companies to help make a difference
by signing up for its political involvement campaign, Dairy Counts in 2004.
The centerpiece of this effort is getting the message
out to dairy industry employees about the importance of voting in
elections. In many states, voter registration deadlines are looming, so
dairy companies should begin their efforts now.
Dairy Counts makes it easy for IDFA member companies
to get involved by providing all of the necessary tools to implement a
successful get-out-the-vote effort. IDFA provides an easy-to-use Web site
where visitors can quickly find state-specific voter registration
information, obtain absentee ballot applications and view information about
candidates in the upcoming elections. The Web site also highlights
incumbents’ voting records and their positions on key dairy
legislation.
IDFA urges companies is to publicize the Dairy Counts
Web site in their internal newsletters or on company intranets. In
addition, IDFA is supplying free posters and paycheck stuffers to all
interested member companies that remind employees of the importance of
voting. Posters can be hung in employee lunchrooms and break rooms, while
the stuffers are sized to fit in with company paychecks and newsletters.
