Maryland's Agricultural Leadership Development Program
Leadership is the key to securing a successful future for Maryland agriculture. To meet the many challenges facing Maryland agriculture today, leaders committed to the future of Maryland agriculture must be able to resolve problems successfully in skillful, thoughtful and innovative ways. Leaders must be able to understand and articulate the important relationships between agriculture and other sectors of society, on all levels - local, state, national and international.The purpose of the LEAD Maryland Foundation is to provide men and women interested in the future of Maryland agriculture with opportunities to:
- Expand their leadership abilities,
- Develop an active network of resourceful, diverse and highly motivated people,
- Increase their understanding of critical public issues and
- Enhance their knowledge of technological practices, marketing strategies and environmental concerns.
The program was a great introduction to the "Who's Who" of Maryland Agriculture and the political process that shapes our industry. I just wish that it had been available to me five years earlier! |
