COLUMBUS, Ohio — In 2022, Ohio Farm Bureau Federation will select 10 individuals to participate in AgriPOWER, a leadership and advocacy development program, which will consist of seven multiday institutes over a total of 17 days. Applications are due April 22.
Topics covered will include public policy matters facing local communities, the state of Ohio, the nation and the world. Additionally, specific sessions will help class members develop important skills necessary to become an effective leader and advocate for agriculture. Two of the institute sessions will be held out of state (one in Washington, D.C. and the other location will be decided at a later date) to help class members gain a valuable understanding of national and global issues.
AgriPOWER is a program of Ohio Farm Bureau and designed for farmers and agribusiness professionals. The yearlong program focuses on public policy issues that are relevant to the food industry such as consumer relations, regulations, energy and trade policies. In AgriPOWER, individuals develop the skills necessary to become effective leaders and advocates for agriculture by learning from experts in these fields.
