CHS New Leaders Forum
Young farmers and ranchers are nominated by their cooperatives to participate in CHS New Leaders Forum activities. Through in-person and virtual events, they learn about the cooperative model, develop their leadership skills and discover how they can serve and advocate for agriculture and cooperatives.
If you are a young cooperative farmer-owner and would like to be nominated for the next CHS New Leaders Forum, contact the CEO or general manager of your local cooperative.
