Your Resilience Inspires Us
By CALF President and CEO Dwight Ferguson
Mid-summer has arrived and ag businesses, farms and ranches statewide are bustling. There’s no shortage of serious challenges, of course, but the dedication and resilience we see from everyone associated with Ag Leadership is inspiring. It’s what keeps us committed to our shared values and focused on our mission of growing leaders who make a difference.
This month, as we begin another new fiscal year, it’s what enables us to make continued progress on our priorities of:
Fellow Selection – Class 52 applicant screening is happening at all of our university partner campuses and CSU Chico this month and schedules are filled with highly qualified candidates.
Education and Curriculum – The CALF Education Team will hold its annual retreat this month to review, reflect and refine program curriculum.
Alumni Engagement – It seems there’s a gathering somewhere almost every week! From book club to First Fridays, regional and L4 events and October’s scheduled conference and celebration, our support of lifelong leadership learning is as great as ever.
Marketing and Communications – Check out our newly redesigned Horizons magazine if you haven’t already done so. Social media has also been refreshed and our newly designed website will launch soon too!
Financial Strength – Current economic conditions are only fortifying our resolve to ensure the financial health of the foundation.
