Annual Report designed by TMD Creative

The progress of Ag Leadership, for both the foundation and the program, has been focused on three simple and primary goals, which we call the three Ps for simplicity: the program, the people in the program, and philanthropy. We are pleased to report that the 2011-2012 fiscal year witnessed substantial progress toward each of these goals.

//

THE PROGRAM. After almost two years of work analyzing, studying and revising the curriculum – completed by the core faculty; Dr. Charlie Crabb, CALF program advisor; Dr. Pat Lattore, curriculum advisor (and teacher and coach); and lead by Dr. Michael Thomas, CALF director of education – the first major program revisions in some 15 years were presented to the Deans’ Council in December 2011. The revisions were then presented to the CALF board in January 2012 for final approval and adoption. During this time, Class 42 was exposed to elements of the new curriculum. We thank them for their patience as we worked through some new content, in particular the introduction of a personal coaching element for an individualized deliverable and personalized learning experience from the program. The program was made a bit shorter (from 14 seminars over 20 months to 12 seminars over 16 months) but perhaps a bit more demanding at the same time (more reading, more seminars in the first year, more independent study). It also added certain psychometric tests and the coaching piece. Class size was formalized for pedagogic reasons at 24 to facilitate small group learning. These changes have been reported on and discussed elsewhere, so we won’t report on them again. Class 43, in fall 2012 (falling into fiscal year 2013) was the first to experience the new curriculum in its entirety, and we will continue to evaluate the program every year for learning outcomes and effectiveness.

//

THE PEOPLE. The summer of 2011 witnessed a 10-year high in the numbers of people applying to the program! The changes that were being considered were being noticed, the program was again fresh and relevant, and we had to turn away more applicants than we could accept for the first time in many years.

//

PHILANTHROPY. In October 2011 the trustees of the Otis Booth Foundation added to my (Loren’s) personal gift the year before and pledged $5 million to the foundation to anchor its capital endowment campaign. This single gift effectively doubled the foundation’s endowment as we were starting from a small base, and it generated momentum that is detailed in the financial section of this report, aimed at securing the future of this program for generations to come.

JOINT MESSAGE

The Program. The People. Philanthropy.

So the program has been enhanced, and it has been noticed.

Applications hit a high not seen in a decade. And the financial condition of the foundation improved by an order of magnitude. We are deeply grateful to each and every one of you who joined us to make this possible.

“We grow leaders who make a difference” – and you have made a huge difference.

Thank you.

CLASS 41

CLASS FORTY ONE International Travel Seminar Russia, Poland, Ukraine, Czech Republic // February 2012 The international travel seminar had a profound impact on each of the Class 41 fellows. They spent 15 days exploring the cultural, economic, political and historical aspects of Russia, Poland, Ukraine and the Czech Republic. The fellows had a lot to process based on observations of a region with a long and rich history, yet currently navigating through complex times with infant governments formed since 1989. Throughout the intense educational journey, key themes emerged and myriad leadership and life lessons were learned.

LESSON

one

INTOLERANCE, TOLERANCE AND RESILIENCY

War is a significant part of the history of the region they visited.

Fellows had a close-up view of cruel injustices, particularly at Auschwitz and Birkenau. They gained significant insight regarding the how and why of the tragedy, while also gaining a deep respect for the resiliency of people who lived through the horror.

LESSON

two

PERSPECTIVE

This region has a rich history of law and governance. This includes Magdeburg law, which dates back to the 13th century, in areas like Krakow. Magdeburg laws were used as founding principles for British law and some concepts worked their way into the U.S. Constitution.

There seemed to be a common thread of corruption and disregard for law in the countries visited. The fellows explored aspects of change and challenged the ideas surrounding the evolution of political and social drift.

LESSON

three

RESOURCES AND ECONOMIC POWER

Oil and natural gas resources that supply much of Europe are found in remote areas of Russia. Russia, therefore, has the economic clout to control the supply and pricing in all of Europe. In contrast, Ukraine has rich agricultural resources. Dominance of this vast asset did not seem to impart much economic or political influence in the region.

LESSON

four

SELFISH VS. SELFLESS LEADERS

Since the breakup of the Soviet Union and presumed fall of communism, the region has changed significantly. As leaders emerged to fill a power vacuum, much was learned watching the different leader-types that step forward to fill the void. Fellows observed retreads or old-style leaders, with the appropriate connections, assuming leadership roles. Selfless leaders were needed.

CLASS FORTY TWO National Travel Seminar Washington, D.C. and Michigan // March 2012 Class 42 traveled to Washington, D.C. and Michigan for a powerful 10-day national travel seminar. The trip provided a valuable experiential learning opportunity to deepen their leadership skills being developed in the program. From meeting with government, business, community and educational leaders to visiting the historic Gettysburg Battlefield, fellows learned about different styles of leadership in a variety of situations.

LESSON

one

COMPROMISE VS. LACK OF COMPROMISE

Fellows learned about the political process and critical issues – challenges, negotiation, communication and leadership.

LESSON

two

DEBATE AND DISSENSION

Fellows learned about Supreme Court legal debates, the value of disagreements/dissenting opinions, and the perspectives of Justice Stephen Breyer.

LESSON

three

COLLABORATION

Fellows learned about the importance of groups, organizations and agencies working together and overcoming differences to work toward a goal or agreement.

LESSON

four

COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION

Fellows learned about the positive results of community service, leadership in education, and problem solving.

QUOTES

REFLECTIONS Quotes excerpted from articles featured in Horizons magazine (2011-2012)

12

PAUL WENGER | CLASS 17 “The compilation of everything we learned in Ag Leadership was valuable. There were several significant things that I took from the program. First, look at things through someone else’s eyes. This is essential. With agriculture in particular, look at our issues from a non-farm standpoint. Secondly, networking is an important component of Ag Leadership. Everyone comes to the program with different skills and life experiences. You benefit from the people in your class and the classes before and after.

To have that common experience and to be associated with fellow alumni is incredible.

Third, the public speaking training was very important and one of the most utilized skills in my present position with the Farm Bureau. It’s important that we arm new and rising ag leaders with the skill sets they need to advocate for our industry. Times change and needs change. What’s great about Ag Leadership is that it’s a fluid program that keeps changing and reevaluating itself to keep up with the changing times so the program continues to be relevant.”

PATRICIA STEVER BLATTLER | CLASS 34 “In my capacity of working with Farm Bureau volunteer leaders at the county and state level for the past 10 years, Ag Leadership provided me with exceptional training in developing my interpersonal skills, working with diverse audiences, managing volunteers, and motivating leaders for greater work in the Farm Bureau organization. Ag Leadership and Farm Bureau are natural partners with a nexus for creating outstanding leaders and advocates for agriculture.”

RIA DE GRASSI | CLASS 21 “During the program, the exposure to different leadership styles gave me insight as to what to emulate and what not. That insight influences my roles on various state and national committees…homeland security, animal heath, animal welfare… where stakeholder differences must be heard and reconciled in the interest of forward movement on these critical ag issues.”

MICHELE LAVERTY | CLASS 37 “Ag Leadership pushed me to try new things. The international trip pushes you way beyond your comfort zone and you return willing to take more risks. It encouraged me to continue reading and learning from people, opportunities and experiences. It taught me that it’s not just the amount of time you put into volunteering, but the quality of that time. The people we met along the way had such a phenomenal impact in our lives.”

// ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012

SAM NEVIS | CLASS 32 “Ag Leadership was, and still is, extremely rewarding. What I took away from Ag Leadership and my classmates was the ability to engage people from different parts of the state, with different backgrounds and agendas and build bridges to accomplish a goal. Being Yuba Sutter Farm Bureau president has tested those abilities, with 21 board members and dozens of issues in two counties. My Ag Leadership experience and training helps me bridge the gaps we face.”

STEVE GOMES | CLASS 14 “Ag Leadership expanded my horizons and changed my life. It took the blinders off. The seminars touched on topics that were engaging and dealt with all of society, not just ag. I saw the big picture for the first time and how things are related in the world. My Ag Leadership experiences played a role in running a difficult race for superintendent.”

DENNIS ALBIANI | CLASS 32 “I am blessed to have had the Ag Leadership Program assist in making me a better person and father. Ag Leadership quickly stretched me out of my comfort zone, forced me to identify and prioritize my core values, introduced emotional intelligence, and Myers Briggs exposed personality and decision making traits. I started to identify and rearrange the values I wanted to pass down to our children. Ag Leadership provided me the skills necessary to ‘deliver’ the values and lessons to my family.

By focusing on personal attributes, Ag Leadership provides customized tools for each fellow to utilize.”

JULIE SPEZIA | CLASS 26 “I learned to always keep growing and challenging myself. Ag Leadership helped me continually ask myself how I can keep improving and keep sharpening my saw.

You really start to think of yourself as a true leader and you put yourself forward. It’s as though you’ve been ‘tapped’ to be a leader.

You really own it after going through the program. It is a huge time commitment, but it’s such a great return on investment.

QUOTES

With businesses, they see results almost immediately with their employees that are going through the program – the improvement in their lives and work, and actively providing leadership in organizations.”

BOB ATKINS | CLASS 17 “It taught me about networking and collaboration building through communication. I learned about taking a wider view and how to find the best solution. I’ve been involved with the D.C. Exchange for many years, going back to D.C. to recruit and helping with tours when the group came here. My whole experience with Ag Leadership – first with the class, then with DCX – really prepared me for when I went back to educate legislators in D.C.” GLENDA HUMISTON | CLASS 25 “The program is world class, outstanding.

I got a lot out of it because the curriculum is so broad-based. It’s an educational opportunity that not many people get to experience. It’s kind of designed to create ‘Renaissance people.’ ” LAURA GIUDICI MILLS | CLASS 29 “Ag Leadership better prepared me for industry leadership and community advocacy. It taught me about the commitment to giving back and lifelong learning. It strengthened my communication skills, whether with media interviews, recognizing personality styles or debating controversial issues. An important

life lesson is, ‘How can we educate people outside of our industry so they can better understand us?’ Ag Leadership is extremely valuable for personal and professional development.”

STEPHEN PATRICIO | CLASS 19 “Ag Leadership changed the way I think about every part of my life. As much as it is an education, it is a self-reflective soul searching journey that brings you to a point where you have a better understanding of yourself. You learn how you must relate to the world around you. You have a role to play, and you better play it. It teaches you about balancing time, crisis management and communication. You learn so much.

A week doesn’t go by that I don’t grab someone and tell them about applying. I feel very strongly about the program and can’t speak more highly about what it did for me.”

VAUGHN KOLIGIAN | CLASS 12 “I feel so fortunate to have participated in the program. It exposed me to people, issues and opportunities that helped me develop as a person. Beyond that, it provided a fellowship of friends that have enhanced my life and my family.”

management, alternative solutions, mentoring others and personal challenges, just to name a few. Ag Leadership made me a better ag industry participant, a better Sun-Maid employee, and just a better person overall. I’m very thankful for the experience.”

RICK STARK | CLASS 39 “Ag Leadership exposed me to a broad range of viewpoints and made me realize that to be successful, you must listen to people’s needs and concerns before you can build solutions. I have also found that I draw upon my Ag Leadership experiences nearly every day.”

“Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.” -Peter F. Drucker

JOHN SLINKARD | CLASS 27 “My two-year tenure in the Ag Leadership Program provided me with countless experiences that have benefited me in ways I never imagined. The program has you participating in team dynamics and leadership, public speaking, time // ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012

PARTNERS

Exceptional Educational Partners for 42 years For more than 40 years, the Ag Leadership Program has benefitted immensely from relationships with four California universities: Cal Poly Pomona; Cal Poly San Luis Obispo; California State University, Fresno; and the University of California, Davis.

The four core faculty members at each university are responsible for development and delivery of the Ag Leadership Program. They serve on the Education Team as the integrators of the content that makes up the program. It is their responsibility to work from the strategic goals laid out by the CALF board to identify the industry and academic expertise necessary to cover the diverse range of topics delivered during the program. Working with presenters, and making some key presentations themselves, they help ensure that topics are delivered in a manner that allows fellows to learn, practice and master myriad subjects and skills.

The deans of the colleges of agriculture at our partner universities are instrumental to the program. They serve on the Deans’ Council and also rotate on the CALF board of directors.

Their valuable expertise, guidance and insight are essential to Ag Leadership. They play a critical role in guiding both curriculum development and the delivery of the program, and their support makes them four of our most important legacy contributors.

We are grateful for their commitment to excellence in educating future agricultural leaders who make a difference.
