Glover joins GFB Public Policy Staff

Eliza Jane Glover has joined the Georgia Farm Bureau (GFB) Public Policy Department as an agricultural programs specialist. She began work on July 28.

Glover is a recent graduate from the University of Georgia, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in agricultural and environmental science communications, with a minor in food and fiber marketing. She has interned with the Georgia Department of Agriculture and the Masters golf tournament and served as a congressional ag fellow in Washington, D.C.

“Eliza Jane has a strong agricultural background and her varied student experiences have prepared her well,” said Georgia Farm Bureau President Tom McCall. “We’re excited to have her, and we look forward to representing Georgia Farm Bureau with the state’s farmers. She grew up on a dairy farm in Clermont and understands what farmers are faced with on a daily basis.”

While in Washington, Glover was one of 30 congressional interns selected for the Stennis Program, through which she helped craft legislation concerning rural broadband service.

Throughout high school and college, Glover worked on her family’s farm, Glo-Crest Dairy, tending to cattle. She also worked as a student worker with Georgia FFA.

As agricultural programs specialist, Glover will work directly with GFB members to understand the practical implications changes in law and regulations will have on their farms, as well as serving the organization’s Commodity Advisory Committees (CACs). She will focus mainly on livestock CACs. Glover’s role includes representing GFB to commodity commissions and other industry groups, promoting GFB policy positions and aligning efforts with those groups.
