Students Attend AFA Leaders’ Conference

Four Truman students attended the 2010 Agriculture Future of America (AFA) Leaders’ Conference Nov. 4-7 in Kansas City, Mo. Joining more than 500 undergraduate students from 50 universities, delegates participated in a unique blend of seminars covering personal finance, leadership development, public speaking and ethics. Additionally, students networked with agricultural corporate executives, employers and policy-makers at a forum and opportunity fair. Since 1996, the AFA Leaders’ Conference has served as a catalyst in preparing the next generation of agricultural leaders. Truman’s four attendees (pictured, left to right) were Marianne Emery, Sam McKinley, Bridget Waller and Brittany Early.
