Advanced Agricultural Leadership Program - AALP

We want to hear your AALP story!

Every AALP journey is unique, and we’re excited to celebrate the experiences and leadership stories that make this program so meaningful.

ROI’s Rural Events Coordinator, Sarah Dick, is inviting past AALP class members to take part in short video interviews that capture their AALP experiences. These stories will be showcased at the COFS alumni reunion this fall.

Interested in sharing your story? Please fill out the form here:

Interviews will take place between June 19 and July 3. Each interview will take about 30 minutes and can be completed virtually or in person.
