CALF Impact Report 2021-22

By CALF Board Chairman Mike Young (35) and CALF President and CEO Dwight Ferguson

In the following pages, you’ll read how CALF has:

REALIZED increased interest in its programs, especially its core California Agricultural Leadership Program, while continuing to enhance the important fellow selection process.

ENSURED the excellence of its core, exchange and other programs by documenting, analyzing and enhancing them based on ongoing feedback and further strengthening of our dedicated CALF Education Team.

DRIVEN increased alumni engagement by improving and introducing new lifelong learning opportunities, along with enhanced communication practices and increased gathering activities (the CALF Alumni Council and nearly 50 class liaisons have been especially helpful with these efforts).

UPDATED its marketing and communication practices to include new and consistent designs for its printed and online publications, plus increased social media presence.

STRENGTHENED its commitment to financial stability by increasing resources in donor relations and introducing more advanced practices in outreach, gift tracking, segment-specific development and follow up.

As for the foundation’s financial position, we are disappointed to report our overall net asset value declined this year for the first time in many, due mostly to reductions in global equity markets and the impact that had on our

investment accounts. At the start of the financial year ending June 30, 2022, assets totaled a record high $27.8 million, declining to $23.9 million by year end, a decrease of 14%. Endowment and other investment accounts started the year at more than $27.2 million and declined to $22.7 million, a decrease of 17%.

Despite this negative balance sheet performance, our P&L results were favorable to plan and prior year on both our top and bottom lines. Thanks to the generosity of our many donors, total income grew to $3.0 million vs. $1.4 million prior year or +114%. Expenses of $2.8 million were managed favorably to budget, enabling changes in net assets without donor restrictions of $255,000 vs. -$28,000 prior year.

We are proud to share that the Salinas-based accounting firm of Bianchi, Kasavan & Pope LLP has once again issued a clean opinion of our financial reports, which you can view in part in this report and on our website, www.agleaders.org.

We thank all of you in the Ag Leadership family – the board of directors, alumni, core faculty, donors, other industry friends and staff – for your continued support and engagement. The potential for this foundation and its programs to make a difference and a positive impact on families, communities, businesses and ultimately, California agriculture, is as great as it has ever been.

ST R AT EG I C Planning

By CALF Executive Vice President Abby Taylor-Silva (45)

UPDATE

In late 2020, the foundation embarked on a strategic planning process focused on reviewing and updating our mission, vision and values and reassessing our priorities. That process, led by Brandology, provided a critical roadmap for the foundation’s upcoming years and set the path for the foundation’s activities since its adoption by the board of directors in May 2021.

The five critical priorities include:

Fellow Selection

In 2022 we saw a strong applicant pool for Class 52, with 99 applicants to phase I, 94 to phase II and 71 people interviewed in phase III. That represented an 18.3% increase in qualified candidates interviewed year-over-year. Regional informational events were held in most regions in March and April 2022. Our selection process has evolved to include a strong focus on personal stories. This leads to more diversity among fellows, as we’re focused on a variety of elements, including but not limited to an applicant’s educational experiences, leadership exhibited to date, military background, immigrant generation, deep experiences, commodity(ies) represented, gender, religion, age, ethnicity, economic experience and more.

Along with this focus on diversity, we’ve aligned our process around confirming that the candidate has a strong passion for California agriculture and a high capacity to influence. The selection committees, made up of alumni and the deans from our four partner universities and Chico State, look to confirm that the candidate applications and interviews illustrate that they reflect our values of integrity, excellence and respect, and will bring a perspective to the class that will lift the learning potential for all. With the help of CALF Co-Interim Directors of Education Dr. Peggy Sears Perry (9) and Dr. Robert Flores, we’ve also applied more focus on readiness indicators in the application and interviews. We’re continuously updating our process based on what we learn through feedback gained by our participating stakeholders. This

transparent process ensures we’re placing our fellowship investment in people who will make a difference in their families, businesses, communities and on behalf of and for California agriculture.

Education and Curriculum

The Ed Team has been documenting, analyzing and building upon the core curriculum based on feedback received in the strategic planning process. This curriculum “blueprint” development includes a focus on increasing leadership impact within existing experiences by expanding topics and incorporating discussions of social and environmental justice, diversity, equity, inclusion and more. Succession planning remains a focus, including Dr. Louise Ferguson (30) transitioning her core faculty role at UC Davis to Dr. Amanda Crump.

The strategic plan also clearly outlines priorities and goals focused on better understanding how to measure the impact our fellows and alumni are making, aligned to our mission and vision.

To that end, in early 2022 we identified the opportunity to work with Claremont Graduate University’s LeAD Labs to provide the foundation with a comprehensive program evaluation – crafted in three stages – including the development of a theory of change model, a gap analysis and an evaluation plan. Work began this spring on the development of a theory of change model, which includes a comprehensive literature review,

discussion sessions with small groups of CALF stakeholders and a deep dive into our curriculum. The analysis will evaluate our current measurement tools and identify any gaps. Recommendations will then be made for improvement. The evaluation plan will outline the recommended steps for improved effective program evaluation. At the conclusion of this project, staff will evaluate the full report with the Ed Team and board of directors. We will identify what, and if, further analysis needs to be done and how we might use the details in this report immediately, including in our program evaluations and other forms of data collection.

Our exchange programs are thriving and growing: The D.C. Exchange was successfully reinstated and we’re in process to reinstate the CA Exchange soon.

Alumni Engagement

Deanna van Klaveren (32) transitioned to a full-time role in summer 2021 to provide support to our alumni community. She has initiated a book club as well as a renewed focus on First Fridays and quarterly alumni learning seminars. Keeping alumni contact information up-to-date has been a major priority. Over the past year, more than 600 alumni have provided contact information amendments. These have been incorporated into an updated alumni directory on the CALF website and alumni can now update their information directly on the site.

The Alumni Council (AC) is focused on connecting alumni through various opportunities, such as the Alumni Conference & Celebration Dinner and further lifelong learning opportunities.

Other AC priorities include: 1) understanding more about our alumni and tracking that data; 2) sustaining and growing lifelong learning through the reintroduction of L4 seminars for alumni; 3) optimizing communications, collaboration and connection; 4) facilitating relationship-building between

alumni and related organizations and 5) telling the alumni story in a way that sets clear expectations for giving. The AC’s engagement is stronger than ever, with monthly check-ins, quarterly meetings and an annual retreat, at which time the strategic plan priorities are front-and-center in the discussion.

Marketing and Communications

Meredith Rehrman Ritchie (28) was hired as CALF’s marketing and communications coordinator in fall 2021. A full-time staff member in this role has been beneficial for executing the foundation’s marketing strategies, bringing numerous projects in-house and efficiently assisting other staff members with their marketing and communications needs.

Financial Strength

Kelli Coffey joined the team as our donor relations manager in March 2022 and Mia Mirassou as our administrative assistant in February 2022. Both will be integral to our focus on continued engagement with donors. These new staff members are working with the team to increase our strong communication related to the program’s ROI, opportunities to engage through time, talent and treasure and to support events and fundraisers that lead to greater connection while also supporting the foundation financially. Thanks to generous alumni and stakeholder contributions, the foundation has the opportunity to apply financial resources to key strategic priorities.

In April 2022, the foundation reinitiated an event focused on Leadership Roundtable donors. A dedicated focus on donor relations and communications has led to increased and renewed giving in the final quarter of the year. Preparations are underway for estate giving and legacy society opportunities for donors.

Marketing and Communications

By CALF Marketing & Communications Coordinator Meredith Rehrman Ritchie (28)

The foundation made an impact in marketing and communications during 2021-22, highlighted by a comprehensive brand refresh, including a new logo. Launched in April 2022, it generated positive buzz and excitement among alumni, fellows, donors, other stakeholders and staff. The new look and feel has been incorporated across numerous marketing and communications elements to engage and connect with these key audiences. All elements of the brand refresh aim to increase awareness of the California Agricultural Leadership Program and position it as the premier ag leadership program to potential candidates, donors, ag investors and the ag industry.

PRINT

The first issue of the redesigned Horizons magazine – a major component of the brand refresh – was published in June 2022. Issues are now 32 pages and feature informative, educational, fun and inspiring content. Half of the magazine is focused on alumni, with many positive alumni impact articles and testimonials. The redesigned impact report (formerly annual report) features content showcasing the impact of the foundation, program and alumni.

DIGITAL

The foundation continues to reach key audiences through a redesigned monthly email newsletter and eblasts. The brand refresh has also been incorporated into social media, through which we are further engaging and connecting with people. There is a strong focus on building our LinkedIn presence for industry outreach.

WEBSITE

Another significant component of the brand refresh is the foundation’s overhauled website, which will serve as a helpful informational resource for alumni, fellows, prospective candidates and supporters. An updated alumni directory and dedicated events page are in the pipeline.

OUTREACH CAMPAIGN

The foundation is creating an engaging outreach campaign – to be featured across publications, social media, website, videos and more – that will highlight alumni, their leadership and their positive impact in agriculture and beyond. The campaign will also increase awareness of the Ag Leadership brand among ag industry entities, potential candidates and donors.

Alumni Making an I M PAC T

Since the Ag Leadership Program was first delivered in 1970, nearly 1,400 commenced fellows have become influential leaders and active volunteers in agriculture, communities, business, government and education. The experiences and lessons learned through the program motivated them to make a difference in the agricultural industry and beyond. They embody the foundation’s mission, vision and values every day.

Program I M PAC T

Class 51, Year One Seminar Recaps

OCTOBER 2021

Fresno

Inaugural seminar devoted to orientation to the program and one another, gaining familiarity with foundation staff, expectations, terminology and program culture; “Leadership and Self-Deception” review and discussion; review results of personal preferences using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and reflection on general characteristics of a leader.

“It’s a special thing to walk into that first seminar day and know that you’re setting out on a journey with 23 other fellows that is going to change your lives. The first seminar sets such an important foundation for the rest of the program - I find myself referring back to ‘Leadership and Self-Deception’ and my initial Myers-Briggs assessment o en in my work and personal life. ‘Leadership and Self-Deception’ specifically has already had ripple effects in my life and I have shared it with friends and co-workers.”

—Carrie Isaacson

NOVEMBER 2021

San Luis Obispo

Team building activities and storytelling to build trust, developing and delivering informative speeches, practice in captivating an audience, discussion of effective media consumption and engagement tactics, practice as presiding fellows, more reflection on the results from the MBTI, and developing listening skills.

“The thought of public speaking has the tendency to strike fear into most and that was apparent during this seminar. Writing and delivering an informational speech put most of us, myself included, completely out of our comfort zone. But, with the guidance from our speech coaches, we were taught the skillset to properly create and deliver a great speech and most importantly, it provided the fellows with the confidence needed when speaking in public.”

—Kevin Souza

DECEMBER 2021

Davis

Group dynamics, “Crucial Conversations,” unconscious bias and intercultural perspectives, debriefing on the TKI (Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument), engaging community, site visit to Mercy Pedalers and Loaves & Fishes to explore issues for the homeless.

“This seminar was a very special one. We met wonderful people like Sister Libby from Mercy Pedalers and Angela and George from Loaves & Fishes, who give so much hope and kindness to those less fortunate. These selfless heroes provide the unhoused population with a warm cup of coffee, shelter, warm meal and a safe place to rest. We learned how to prepare to have a crucial conversation, got an understanding of how we behave when faced with conflict and discussed ethnic diversity and inclusion. This seminar provided me with the best gi for the holiday season by teaching me about humility, humanity and community.”

—Miguel

Lizárraga

JANUARY 2022

Pomona

Leadership lessons from Class 50, exploring the role of culture in leadership, introduction to Homeboy Industries and Father Greg Boyle’s leadership, learning about the Japanese American experience and the internment camps, site visit to Crossroads’ programs for women who were formerly incarcerated, book presentations and discussion, envisioning culture competency.

“The CALF mantra of ‘packing flexibility’ was tested here, as our scheduled tours of Homeboy Industries and the Asian American History Museum were impacted by the rapidly evolving protocols of the then-new Omicron variant. This, however, did not take away from one particularly impactful experience. Our visit to Crossroads, a rehabilitation home for formerly incarcerated women, has stuck with each of us in such a way as to start a core theme through our program of learning to approach difficult interactions and new ideas with open minds and hearts.”

—Kel Mitchel

FEBRUARY 2022

Fresno

Exploring the connection between biological systems and leadership behaviors, studying emotional intelligence (EQ) and the interplay in addressing leadership challenges, interpreting individual results from the EQ 2.0 assessment, leadership from historical perspectives, preparation and planning for the national seminar.

“Our deep dive into EQ was both humbling and inspiring. I was able to understand the importance of emotional intelligence as a leadership skill and challenge myself to work on further developing my EQ skill set. Learning about the impact of EQ on historical leadership decisions and cognitive development was incredibly eye-opening and has helped me deal with challenging situations in my personal and professional life.”

—Betsy Karle

FEBRUARY & MARCH 2022

National Seminar

SACRAMENTO: How various levels of government operate, public policy careers, alumni panel on regional and state public boards, meeting with legislators, role of ag advocacy organizations and firms, stateless refugees discussion and sustainable water management at the state level.

“This seminar was pivotal for me personally, leaving a lasting impact on the way I engage with our country’s political process. This seminar created an understanding of how accessible and truly human our political representatives are and created an avenue for me to understand how I can make a difference, starting at the local level. I le this seminar with a renewed interest in the work being done constantly by public servants on Capitol Hill and a sense of pride in the checks and balances of our political system.”

—Ahna Miller

APRIL 2022

Pomona

Site visit to Homeboy Industries, role of power in leadership, personal power and how to use it, Leadership Gone Awry panel, debriefing of book “Deep Change,” the Balkans as a microcosm of Eastern Europe, setting priorities, site visit to St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Church.

“This was our first time back together as a class a er our eventful national seminar. Dr. Perry’s seminars in Pomona are both enlightening and refreshing. I was particularly impacted by the personal power aspect of leadership strategies discussed. Especially my introduction to Stephen Covey’s time quadrant model, which made a deep impact on me and my current perspective of my time management processes and how I could better improve upon those.”

—Darcy Vlot

UNIVERSITY FOCUS

Social and cultural issues, history and religion related to international destinations, personal power, leadership styles, personal and organizational change management.

MAY 2022

Luis Obispo

Second, through understanding the role of the media and exploring ideas on how to interact with them when approached. And lastly, the barbecue dinner at Talley Vineyards again confirmed how fortunate I am to be a part of such a passionate and committed Ag Leadership community.”

Our community only further demonstrates their generosity through in-kind gifts this year – ranging from hosting an event to donating raffle prizes. Every contribution from Ag Leadership supporters makes a difference in the foundation’s ability to execute on its mission of “Growing leaders who make a difference.”
