We are seeking individuals who will step forward to lead agriculture and rural communities for today and tomorrow. We are seeking individuals who want to advance their skills and expertise in leadership. We are seeking individuals who desire to be more knowledgeable about those areas of public policy that impact agriculture and the process for impacting decision making at local, state and federal levels. We are seeking individuals ready to be a “Difference Maker” for agriculture.

Developing the capacity to effectively lead and serve the broad spectrum of agriculture’s industry sectors at the many different levels is pivotal to being a difference maker. The Indiana Agricultural Leadership Program (ALP) is one important way to equip yourself to lead and serve agriculture.

The ALP features 12 study seminars that will broaden knowledge, understanding and skills in important areas of agriculture, public policy, civic engagement and leadership. Ten of the study seminars are three days in length and held in locations around Indiana. In addition, the participants study for one week in Washington, D.C., and for two weeks internationally.

AgrIInstitute selects up to 30 individuals to participate in the two-year program. Each class is selected to represent the diversity of agriculture and rural community sectors and a broad base of backgrounds and experience.
