ALOT Helps Ag Leaders Today!
Illinois Farm Bureau® (IFB) created Agricultural Leaders of Tomorrow (ALOT), an agricultural leadership development program designed to give participants a head-start on tackling tomorrow's responsibilities.
Twenty-one IFB members representing seventeen counties have successfully completed the 40th ALOT program. Richard “Rick” Johnson represented Cook County. The 2019 ALOT sessions were held in Oglesby, Cambridge, Polo, Springfield, and Bloomington. To date, over 1000 participants have graduated from the program.
The nine-week training program allows participants to study and develop leadership skills in the areas of communication, political process, agricultural economics, and global issues. The 2020 ALOT program will be held in Central Illinois.
