The Agricultural Business Council of Kansas City invites you to join us on Wednesday, August 17 for a luncheon meeting at the Grand Street Cafe featuring Steve Censky, CEO, American Soybean Association. Steve returned to ASA in November 2020 after serving as Deputy Secretary for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) from October 2017 to November 2020. Before his appointment to USDA, he served as ASA CEO for 21 years.

Steve began his career working as a legislative assistant for Sen. Jim Abdnor (R-SD). Later, he served in both the Reagan and George H. W. Bush administrations at USDA, eventually serving as Administrator of the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), where he was involved in running our nation’s export programs.

We are also pleased to have U.S. Congresswoman Sharice Davids (KS-03) joining us for a few remarks. Rep. Davids has been recently appointed to serve on the House Agriculture Committee.
