Rural Ontario is lacking leadership.
The Agricultural Adaptation Council warns that changing demographics has put stress on existing leaders, and worries about facing a shortage in emerging leaders.
In a series of programs to help combat the problem, the Rural Ontario Institute is hosting an event Tuesday that hopes to bring together community leaders of today and tomorrow.
Steps to Leadership is a three fold program that is addressing the shortage of small town leaders in the agriculture world.
Project Manager for Steps to Leadership, Alicia Evans says they believe that local, affordable and quality leadership training opportunities enable people to develop their potential.
Evans hopes participants in their programs will go on to become instrumental in the change they would like to see happen in their communities and organizations.
If you are not able to attend Tuesday’s leadership summit not to worry, you can still become involved.
