Emerging Leaders Program
Want to learn more about Texas agribusiness? TGFA’s Emerging Leaders Program is designed to improve the leadership skills of Texas agribusiness men and women. We accomplish that through three broad primary objectives:
- to increase member understanding and knowledge of Texas Grain & Feed Association’s mission, programs and services;
- to increase member understanding of the state and federal legislative and regulatory process; and
- to improve member understanding of Texas Agribusiness across the state.
This program is limited to a class of ten. Visit Facebook to see all the excitement from past tours and watch as current tours ensue!
