Nearly 300 men and women have participated in the program and are influential leaders and dedicated volunteers in the agriculture industry, communities and other areas.
CALP is an intensive 18-month program composed of monthly seminars delivered by Colorados agricultural industry. Fellows also participate in 10 days of national travel seminars and a 10-day international travel seminar. Seminars provide a comprehensive curriculum focusing on a variety of agricultural and leadership development subject matter.
Ag Leadership is an incredible educational opportunity for emerging or mid-career leaders in agriculture, CALP Board President Representative Jerry Sonnenberg said in a prepared statement from the Colorado Agricultural Leadership Progam. Agriculture is the cornerstone of this state and the Colorado Agricultural Leadership Program will help ensure its continued success; we must provide tools to develop leaders that will help shape the future of agriculture in Colorado.
