The American Soybean
Association (ASA) and
Pioneer Hi-Bred, a DuPont Business, are seeking applicants
for the 2010 Young Leader Program. The Young Leader Program is
recognized throughout agriculture for its longstanding tradition
of identifying and cultivating the producer leaders who are
shaping the U.S. soybean industry.
“The Young Leader Program is an exceptional leadership training
program,” said ASA President Johnny Dodson, a soybean producer
from Halls, Tenn. “ASA and Pioneer are committed to developing
the next generation of leaders for the soybean industry. As a
graduate of this leadership program, I can personally tell you
that the Young Leader program opens up a lot of opportunities
for you.”
The 2010 class of Young Leaders and their spouses will
participate in a challenging and educational leadership
experience December 6-9, 2009 at Pioneer headquarters in
Johnston, Iowa, and then complete training March 2-6, 2010 in
Anaheim, Calif., in conjunction with the annual Commodity
Classic. This seminar offers the opportunity for participants to
enhance their leadership skills, as well as meet and learn from
other Young Leaders from around the United States and Canada.
Application forms for the 2010 Young Leader Program, sponsored
by Pioneer Hi-Bred, have been mailed to all ASA members.
Applicants may apply on-line directly at www.SoyGrowers.com/dyl,
or call (800) 688-7692, ext. 1328, to obtain an application
form. Soybean producers are encouraged to apply or nominate
another producer who would be an excellent candidate for the
program. Information on guidelines to participate in the program
is available at ASA’s website or by calling the ASA program
manager. All applications and nominations should be returned to
ASA by Monday, August 31, 2009. One Young Leader couple or
individual will be selected from each of ASA's state affiliates.
