Karen Gefvert has been hired by the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation as its Director of Governmental Relations.
As a registered lobbyist for the Wisconsin Farm Bureau, Gefvert will assist grassroots Farm Bureau members in working with local, state and federal lawmakers to advance the policy directives for Wisconsin’s largest general farm organization.
“I am thrilled to be joining the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation team. I look forward to serving the needs of my fellow Wisconsin Farm Bureau members through effective legislative representation,” Gefvert said.
“Karen’s background as an agricultural instructor and her experience in private industry make her an outstanding asset to our team. She is well versed in agriculture and will be dynamic at advocating our position to legislators, state agency officials, other farm commodity groups and our members,” said Paul Zimmerman, Wisconsin Farm Bureau’s Executive Director of Public Affairs.
Gefvert (formerly Smiley) comes to the Farm Bureau from Daybreak Foods, Inc. of Lake Mills where she was employed in the Quality Assurance Department. She also previously worked as an agribusiness instructor at Janesville Parker High School. The Burlington native has degrees in poultry science/general business and agriculture education from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Gefvert, a member of the Columbia County Farm Bureau, she also graduated from the Wisconsin Farm Bureau’s Institute leadership training course last year. She began her duties with the Farm Bureau on February 14.
Her husband, Brad Gefvert, is an agricultural instructor at Portage High School. The couple lives in Pardeeville.
