    “My favorite part of Leadership At Its Best was the Media training, it was beyond was great! The Media training provided very useful tips on how to stay on point and not get distracted or nervous. The real-life practice was very beneficial. I look forward to sharing everything I learned with my State Association.”

    “All of the content was great, I learned so much! However, the relationships I made throughout this intense (and awesome) week, will last a lifetime! I’m so happy to have new industry allies and new friends to defend the science behind the tools that Syngenta and others bring to our farm.”

     

    – LAIB Attendee

    “I didn’t realize how important being regularly engaged with my representatives could really make a difference. I made a real connection and we talked about local concerns, and I look forward to hosting my Representative’s team on my farm this summer! He and his staffers made a genuine effort to listen and stay connected. Leadership At Its Best gave me the confidence and awareness to activate my advocacy when I go home. ”
