USApple’s Leadership Program Now Accepting Applications
November 30, 2015 The U.S. Apple Association (USApple) is accepting applications for its Young Apple Leaders program. At least 10 least young growers from the apple industry will be selected to participate in the 2016 Young Apple Leaders Program. They will attend USApple’s Capitol Hill Day and the association’s other apple meetings in Washington, DC, in late March 2016. Two will be invited from each of the major apple-producing states/regions upon selection by USApple Board members representing those areas.
The program is designed to equip the next generation of American apple growers and leaders with an understanding of how federal, regulatory, and legislative issues directly affect their apple business. The program fosters fellowship and cooperative working relationships across U.S. apple growing regions through discussions about key apple industry issues, trends, research, and other activities.
Young apple growers at the start of their careers through age 35 are eligible to participate. Young growers also involved in apple packing, shipping, sales, and marketing are encouraged to join the program. The application form can be found online and the deadline is Dec. 31.
