Angus Youth Participate in LEAD
The 2012 Leaders Engaged in Angus Development (LEAD) Conference is one for the record books. White water rafting, a challenging high ropes course, and top livestock industry speakers made the Rocky Mountain landscape an ideal setting to bring Angus juniors together. Will Harsh of Radnor and Lindsey Grimes, Hillsboro, attended the conference. The event, themed “Peak Performance,” was held Aug. 2-5 in Fort Collins, Colo. Thanks to generous support from the Angus Foundation, 193 National Junior Angus Association (NJAA) members and enthusiasts from 32 states and Canada were able to experience the leadership conference. LEAD is an opportunity specifically for members 14-21 years old.
