Reaching Excellence in Agricultural Leadership
For agriculture to remain dynamic, well informed leaders must emerge. New Mexico Ag Leadership program was founded with the purpose of identifying and supporting effective leadership within the food, agriculture and natural resource industries of New Mexico. The program aids participants in the development of leadership skills so they may become stronger and more effective leaders in their industries and communities. This is accomplished by exposing them to direct experience and interaction with a variety of businesses, social settings and political environments, both domestically and internationally.
The two year program consists of nine seminars with experts in their respective fields, on-site tours, meetings with business and government leaders, issue awareness, and leadership skills improvement. New Mexico Ag leadership is designed for men and women interested in improving their leadership potential for their future and continuing careers.
The New Mexico Ag Leadership Program is designed for men and women in the early stages of their leadership careers. We recently recruited participants for the eighth class and are looking forward to their participation in the program. Participants come from every sector of New Mexico agriculture. The application provides information for the program along with indicating the participants reasons for wanting to participate as well as their leadership experience.
