WHAT WE DO

SCPA concentrates on member information services.  SCPA gathers information from all possible sources, collates and analyzes it and informs the membership through:

 A major SCPA goal is improvement in effectiveness of state organizations. SCPA's State Affairs Committee sponsors a State Issues Summit in the fall which is attended by state association executives, Farm Bureau people, agribusiness councils and others.  This event provides up to date training on important issues, gives participants an opportunity for networking, aids in association management, testifying, lobbying, and other techniques.

SCPA speaks for you and enhances industry image. Association officers, committees and staff, monitor and offer written and oral testimony on proposed regulations and legislation and maintain personal contact with legislators and regulators.  SCPA's Director of State Affairs coordinates the Association's state legislative activities and represents the Association at state legislative hearings. Member company professionals are key players in this activity.

Our size and diverse membership affords us a view from all aspects of each problem confronting the industry as a whole.  We serve as an intermediary and catalyst toward common consensus to the benefit of all.

SCPA cultivates coalitions, alliances and understandings with state, regional and national associations with similar or related interests.  We constantly exchange information with them.  Though fiercely independent and maintaining a voice of its own, SCPA at the national level works in close concert with CropLife America and its RISE affiliate, the Southern Seed Association, The Fertilizer Institute, and the Agricultural Energy Alliance and others on matters of common interest
