The third class of Indiana Farm Bureau’s Leader in Action recently completed their program.  Leaders in Action is for individuals who want to enhance their leadership skills and become more effective at the local, state, or national levels in both volunteer and elected positions.

Participants included Kate Keefer, Allen County; John Horazy, Boone County; Barton Cooper, Crawford County; Nick and Julie Wenning, Decatur County; Todd Wottring, Fulton County; Samantha Lowe, Hamilton County; Allie Rieth, Hamilton County; Kristin Flora, Hendricks County; Josh Crabb, Kosciusko County; Katie Darr, Kosciusko County; John Childs, Marshall County; Herman and Mary Stutzman, Marshall County; Jeremy Barron, Noble County; Alan Duttlinger, Tippecanoe County; Christy Penner, Wabash County; and Daniel Stauffer, Wabash County.

Members are accepted for the program through an application process, and if selected, participate in four sessions on engaging local government, self-leadership, communications, and Farm Bureau history and opportunities.

The program culminates with a three-day trip to Washington, DC to learn about federal farm issues and meet congressional representatives.
