Building Leaders.
One Experience at a Time. 

The IALF program is anchored by a series of immersive seminars that explore leadership through the lens of agriculture, business, government, communication, and global affairs. 

​

Over the course of 19 months, participants engage in hands-on experiences, thought-provoking dialogue, and real-world exposure to the complex forces shaping agriculture today—and tomorrow. 

Real-World Learning in Real-Time 

Our seminars go far beyond the classroom. Participants gain direct access to: 

• State and federal legislators 

• Top agribusiness leaders 

• Media professionals 

• International diplomats 

• Nonprofit and rural development experts 

The Experience

From Illinois to Washington, D.C. to international destinations, each seminar is crafted to challenge perspectives, build relationships, and prepare participants for lifelong leadership.
