Applications being accepted for agricultural leadership programTenth KARL class to start in August 2009 Kansas The Kansas Agriculture and Rural Leadership program is seeking Kansans who would like to learn more about their state, hone their leadership skills and interact with industry leaders by participating in the 10th KARL class. "As a graduate of the Kansas Agriculture and Rural Leadership program and current board member, I have personally benefited from the program's unique leadership curriculum and network of industry and community contacts," said KARL graduate and current KARL, Inc. vice chairman Lance Woodbury of Garden City. "I truly believe in the program and its impact: increasing the capacity and number of qualified agricultural and rural community leaders. KARL alumni play important roles at the community, state and national levels." Woodbury is now serving as a trustee for the Garden City-based Finnup Foundation along with his KARL and other organization leadership roles. The two-year program for KARL Class X--which includes nine in-state seminars, two national study tours and a two-week international study tour--begins in August of 2009 and runs through the spring of 2011. "A typical class has an average age of 36 with a historic age range of 25 to 55 years of age, said Jack Lindquist, KARL, Inc. president and program director. "Ever since our first 30 adult leaders were accepted into Class I in 1991, we contend that the group is learning as much from their classmates as they do from the curriculum. It is a powerful dynamic when you bring positive minded, action oriented, servant leaders together and watch them debate issues and create solutions for our rural communities and their supporting industries." More information and applications are available by contacting the KARL office, 101 Umberger Hall, Manhattan KS 66506 or go online at http://www.karlprogram.com to print forms and apply online. Packets with instructions and an Applicant Profile Form, are available until the due date of April 15, 2009. Applicants will undergo a screening process to isolate up to 45 candidates, who will be invited for personal interviews in May of 2009. Each class consists of 30 individuals. The tuition fee for participants is a total of $3,000 or $1,500 per year. KARL donors pay for the remainder of the $15,000 cost per person, covering all speaker costs, class lodging, meals and transportation during seminars, including the national and international tours. 9/15/08 Date: 9/11/08 Advertisement
