Beef Leadership Institute
Join the next team of beef industry leaders!
The Wisconsin Beef Leadership Institute exists to train future champions of Wisconsin’s cattle industry. Those selected to participate will complete a series of educational sessions designed to shape local advocates. They will gain skillsets to enhance their communication skills and diversify their knowledge of the beef industry. These leaders will use their voices to extend the reach and impact of the Wisconsin Beef Council and Wisconsin Cattlemen’s Association.
This collaborative effort is divided between the two organizations. Each hosts separate workshops during the quarterly sessions. After completing a year of training, institute graduates will join an esteemed group of alumni and will be called upon to assist the Wisconsin Beef Council and/or Wisconsin Cattlemen’s Association. Such duties may include responding to media requests, identifying local media contacts, being a voice to consumers and educators, encouraging participation in the Masters of Beef Advocacy program, ensuring the voice of the cattle industry is heard, or providing aid for any other needs that may arise.
The first class of Beef Leadership Institute Graduates include: Amelia Hayden, Hixton; Annie Benzine, Sun Prairie; Becca Hilby, Hazel Green; Britt Meyers, Rice Lake; Danelle Miller, Watertown; Jared Geiser, Chilton; Leeza Kostka, Strum; Mary Fronek, Antigo; Nicholas Gonring, Sussex; Rachel Schroeder, Watertown; Rebecca Poppy, Omro; Tyler Fortun, Westby
