The American Farm Bureau recently selected an outstanding group of leaders in agriculture as the organization’s 12th Partners in Advocacy Leadership Class. AFBF designed PAL to help agricultural leaders accelerate their engagement abilities and solidify their roles as advocates for agriculture.
“Being able to successfully advocate at all levels for agricultural issues that benefit rural communities is more important than ever,” says Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall. “We applaud the members of the 12th class for their interest in honing the necessary skills to promote issues that are important to those in the farm-to-consumer food chain.”
PAL training involves four learning modules designed to develop specific advocacy skills while exploring components of leadership and its theories and philosophies. The modules build on one another over the two years of the program and include intense, in-person, hands-on training. PAL graduates get the experience and confidence to effectively engage all critical ag stakeholders.
