Iowa Corn I-LEAD Class 11 Applications Open

Applications are open for the Iowa Corn Leadership Enhancement and Development (I-LEAD) program, which focuses on increasing industry professionals’ knowledge and understanding of the corn industry. This year marks the eleventh class of this reputable ag leadership program, a two-year intensive learning experience available through the Iowa Corn Promotion Board and the Iowa Corn Growers Association. Applications are available on Iowa Corn’s website and are due July 3, 2023. 

“I would recommend I-LEAD to others because it was an excellent program that gave me opportunities I never could have experienced on my own,” said Joe Roberts of Wright County and I-LEAD Class 10 member.  “I-LEAD gave me the chance to expand my network, share my story with others and to see the impact agriculture has around the globe.”
