Farmers from 11 states graduated from the 2014-15 ASA Leadership At Its Best program this week in Washington, D.C. The Leadership At Its Best program is sponsored by Syngenta and develops leadership, communication and advocacy skills in farmers who have already shown potential to be strong leaders through the positions they hold on their state soybean association boards. This select group of farmer-leaders participated in the first part of the Leadership At Its Best training this past summer in Greensboro, N.C. This week, their training focused primarily on how to advocate for issues important to soybean farmers in Washington. The class participants concluded their visit to the Capitol with a day of Hill visits with their state associations.
ASA appreciates Syngenta’s continued support of this valuable educational opportunity and congratulates this year’s Leadership At Its Best Class on successful completion of the program. Graduates of this class included Mike Bertram (WI), Dan Brandt (MN), Matthew Chapman (IN), Alex Forsbach (TN), Wayne Fredericks (IA), Adam Graham (OH), David Hartz (ND), AJ Hood (AR), Jonathan Miller (KY), Ronnie Russell (MO) and Matt Stutzman (MI).
ASA will begin collecting nominations for next year’s class soon. For more information, contact Michelle Hummel in the ASA office at mhummel@soy.org.
