Killarney-area farmer Dave Koslowsky is the winner of this year's Canadian Forage and Grassland Association (CFGA) Leadership Award.
Koslowsky and his wife Rhonda operate a 1,700 acre mixed farm that includes 120 head of cattle.
He is the immediate past chair and a current board member of the Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association (MFGA) and Manitoba Beef Producers.
"When I was elected to lead MFGA as chair, I took up the challenge and started on strategic planning actions, an organizational bylaws refresh and clear governance path that included succession led by Wendy Bulloch of Building Up Consultants that takes us where MFGA is today," Koslowsky said in his acceptance speech. "I also worked on a strong collaboration process for MFGA. Whenever we met with our partners or government audiences, we always told them about our goals and intentions, but we also always asked about how MFGA could help accomplish their goals. We really stress the win-win for all our partners."
The CFGA presented Koslowsky with its 2018 Leadership Award on November 15th during the 9th Annual CFGA Conference in Calgary.
