Illinois Farm Bureau® (IFB) created Agricultural Leaders of Tomorrow (ALOT), an agricultural leadership development program designed to give participants a head-start on tackling tomorrow’s leadership responsibilities.

Twenty-five IFB members representing 17 counties successfully completed the 2022 ALOT program. The ALOT sessions were held at Starved Rock, Springfield, Sycamore, Bloomington and via Zoom.
To date, over 1,200 participants have graduated from the program.
The eight-week training program allows participants to study and develop leadership skills in the areas of communication, political process, agricultural economics, and global issues.
