Almond Leadership Program looks for future industry leaders
This year’s program will inform class members about the California almond industry and also how to become better leaders in their communities. On the almond front, class members will learn more about food safety, nutrition research, honey extraction, biomass utilization, and other issues.
During the yearlong journey, members will also build relationships, improve communications skills and learn about almond economic issues and how the industry works together.
“We are so fortunate to have this program,” said Kent Stenderup, ABC board member and a volunteer mentor for this year’s leadership program.
“As an industry, we get to interact with the best and brightest individuals who will lead us in the decades to come. This program grounds these participants in the latest industry knowledge, but also teaches them how to be leaders, and to understand the responsibilities that come with that.”
