International collaboration
The IA was pleased to play a part in the international irriga- tion stage through two spe- cific events in late 2020. The European Irrigation Associa- tion hosted a virtual European Irrigation Forum in November. IA CEO Deborah Hamlin, CAE, FASAE, gave a presentation on the IA’s multiple activities and the impact of 2020’s events on the U.S. irrigation industry.
Hamlin also participated in the Irrigation Association of China’s 2020 annual meeting held in December. Through a prerecorded and translated presentation, Hamlin discussed the impact of COVID-19 on the U.S. irrigation industry and how the association has handled it.
