Nebraska LEAD fellows for 2007-2009 announced
Nebraska Thirty finalists for Nebraska LEAD Group XXVII were announced by Allen G. Blezek, director of the Nebraska LEAD (Leadership Education/Action Development) Program. The newest members of Nebraska's premier two-year agricultural leadership development program in its 27th year are made up exclusively of participants who are involved in both production agriculture or agribusiness in Nebraska, Blezek said. "Once again we are proud to say that Class XXVII appears to be filled with outstanding individuals from throughout the state," Blezek said. The two-year program will begin in September. LEAD Fellows will participate in 12 monthly three-day seminars across Nebraska, a 10-day national study/travel seminar and a two to three-week international study/travel seminar, Blezek said. The goal of the program is to develop problem solvers, decision makers and spokespersons for agriculture and Nebraska. Seminars focus on agriculture as well as business, industry, labor, economics, public policy, religions, politics, governments, history and other areas designed to develop leaders through exposure to a broad array of current topics and issues and how they interrelate. The Nebraska LEAD Program is operated by the non-profit Nebraska Agricultural Leadership Council Inc. in cooperation with the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and 10 other institutions of higher education throughout Nebraska.
