AG FORESTRY LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
The AgForestry Leadership program offers
an incredible array of outstanding seminars to help participants
increase and expand their leadership skills - including two study
travel seminars in the United States and internationally. Many
of the AgForestry Leadership graduates are already leaders and
have gone on to serve as elected officials, officers of their
companies, or top administrators in state government. As a program
participant you enrich your leadership opportunities through
real-world activities in the seminars and life-long relationships
with your classmates and other AgForestry graduates. It's all
part of our formula to ensure that our graduates "make a difference" in
the natural resource industries and our communities.
Recruitment of Class 29 applicants has begun! Application
deadline is April 30. You can refer
