35 Years of Ag Leaders

Dr. Bobby Soileu

LSU Ag Leadership Program Director

On January 19, 1988 the first seminar of the Agricultural Leadership Development Program began for Class I. Today marks the 35th anniversary of this event. 

The success of this first group led the continued growth of our program today. They also were instrumental in founding the alumni association, Agricultural Leaders of Louisiana. 

We want to recognize the graduates of Class I today on the 35th anniversary of our program.
