Farm Bureau Leaders Graduate from Women’s Boot Camp

Fifteen farm and ranch women leaders graduated from the fall session of the Women’s Communication Boot Camp hosted by the American Farm Bureau.  The four-day course featured hands-on sessions related to public speaking, working with the media, and messaging.  Graduates will use that training in a variety of ways, including participating in local media opportunities to support Farm Bureau’s policy work.  They can also share information with elected officials and join social media campaigns that spotlight modern agriculture.

“The women leaders who completed this training will use their skills in their communities and for Farm Bureau on local, state, and national levels,” said Isabella Chism, Chair of the Women’s Leadership Committee. “Consumer interest in food and how its produced remains high, which means effective communication for agriculture is more important than ever.”

A spring session of the boot camp will be held April 3rd-6th, with applications opening in December.
