Causes: Leadership Development
Mission: A nonprofit organization dedicated to identifying and developing leaders in agriculture and rural communities. The program is designed to provide leadership training to rural residents from farming, ranching, agri-industry, and agricultural organizations. The goal is to assist program participants in gaining the vision, knowledge, confidence and commitment necessary to assume leadership roles in south dakota's agricultural industry.
Programs: To ensure the south dakota rural and agricultural community can keep pace with the rate of change, it is imperative we supply informed, decisive, communicative spokespersons to represent our industry and communities, keeping the public factually informed, as policies are formed and decisions are made. To address these needs, sdarl provides an intensive study and training experience for future agricultural leaders of south dakota. The sdarl program consists of 11 seminars over an 18-month period. Nine of the seminars are 3-4 day in state seminars held at various locations throughout south dakota.
