Dear LEAD Friends:

Another year has passed and we now have the opportunity to review the overall operations of the Nebraska LEAD Program. Nebraska’s agricultural industry continued to face the challenges of weather extremes, low commodity prices, international trade policy issues and then just a few months ago, COVID-19 began providing even more challenges for us. This makes the need for professionally trained leaders in our industry greater than ever as we continue to prepare the men and women in agriculture for more effective leadership.

The Nebraska LEAD Program is a cooperative and collaborative venture as individuals, foundations, organizations, colleges and

universities provide much needed financial and in-kind resources. We thank the following educational institutions for partnering with us and helping keep our costs low:

We continue to receive strong support from Vice Chancellor Mike Boehm and the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. IANR continues to provide your program director and office space. While many expenses are covered with private contributions, we know that without the on-going support of IANR, we would not be where we are today.

LEAD Program family, we are pleased to present our Annual Report. Your continued trust and investment in the Nebraska LEAD Program is never taken for granted, but rather, greatly appreciated.

Like many LEAD Fellows before me have said, the LEAD Program has changed how I look at the things that have an effect on me, my country, and the world. The LEAD Program challenged me to become a better person and gave me the tools and resources to become a leader for the agriculture industry. I am grateful to have participated in the LEAD Program and thankful for the experiences I have gained from it. As we go forth in the world today we are going to need great statesmen to keep things going in the right direction, and the LEAD Program will be key in producing those men and women.

I didn’t really know what to expect when I got accepted into the Nebraska LEAD Program. A crop consultant in my area encouraged me to apply and while I had never participated in a leadership program before, I thought it would be a good fit with my current profession. I never realized how pivotal LEAD would be in my life—not only professionally, but personally too. The people you meet, the places you visit, and the experiences you have in this program are remarkable. Participating in LEAD gave me a voice and made me more aware of what’s going on in our nation and the world from an agricultural and social perspective. Not being a native Nebraskan, LEAD gave me a greater respect for Nebraska’s agriculture, history, natural resources, and rural communities. I’m deeply grateful to have had the opportunity to participate in this program as it helped make Nebraska a place to call home. Going forward, I’m excited to see how I can use the skill sets gained by participating in LEAD.

Program Overview: Leadership Education/Action DevelopmentThe Nebraska Agricultural Leadership Council founded the Nebraska LEAD Program in 1981 in cooperation with Agriculture Builders

of Nebraska, Inc. and the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.

All had recognized the need for a nonpartisan, nonpolitical organization to promote and develop future agricultural leaders. The council’s overall mission remains “to prepare and motivate men and women in agriculture for more effective leadership.”

Each year up to 30 highly qualified individuals with leadership potential are selected statewide to participate in our two-year program. For information about making application to LEAD or to nominate a possible candidate, visit our website at www.lead.unl.edu or call 402-472-6810.

We thank the following individuals, businesses, and corporations that are current FY July 1, 2019 - June 30, 2020, Nebraska Agricultural Leadership Council members providing crucial dollars to cover our program delivery costs. The giving level reflects the amount given during FY 2019-2020. The number in parentheses represents the number of consecutive years of giving.
