PROGRAM INFORMATION “Developing leaders who will speak forcefully and articulately for agriculture and Wyoming communities” The Wyoming L.E.A.D. Program is a 14 month statewide adult leadership program for people who are in agriculture and rural communities. Participants learn about communication, leadership skills, ag policy, international trade, rural economics, state and national government, business and estate planning, natural resource management, marketing and media relations to name a few. The Wyoming L.E.A.D. Program meets ten times over the course of the 14 month period. Eight seminars are held throughout the state of Wyoming to familiarize the fellows with the diversity Wyoming offers and the challenges each area faces. The group participates in a National Government Seminar in Washington, D.C., spending a week with national ag organizations, our congressional staff and other key groups learning about how agriculture fits into our nations policies. The highlight at the end of the program is an International Study Tour, where the group visits another country to learn about their agriculture, government, trade and economic issues. Each seminar is a mixture of panels and experts visiting about their area of expertise in topics that are related to agriculture, natural resources and energy. Included are group discussions that enhance the knowledge and understanding of a given topic. Tours of area industries increase the awareness of the participant to the businesses that affect Wyoming as a state. |
