Latinos in Agriculture Leaders Conference Scholarship Application

The Latinos in Agriculture Organization (http://latinosinagriculture.org) has created an opportunity for students to attend the upcoming conference by applying for a “student scholarship” to help them cover the cost of the conference registration, meals associated with the conference, and hotel accommodations (based on double occupancy).

The Latinos in Agriculture Leaders Conference provides a unique venue for sharing information and ideas for the best and most promising practices in outreach to Hispanics for Agriculture. The objective of the conference is to facilitate the opportunity for industry, government, education, and future leaders (students) to meet and discuss the transformation of the Latino Agricultural workforce of the future. The 5th Annual Latinos in Agriculture Leaders Conference will continue to engage stakeholders in capitalizing on the opportunities not yet fully explored with the Latino community in Agriculture and related fields. 

The conference goals are to:
• explore best practices in recruiting Latino/Hispanic talent in agriculture and related fields;
• seek opportunities to partner with other stakeholders to build synergy and scalability in their programs;
• learn information about the diverse Latino/Hispanic culture in the United States and how to reach them;
• learn how to tap into this emerging and growing market and the opportunities it represents to the future of Agriculture;
• promote and expand partnerships and strategic alliances for collaboration between government, institutions, and the public/private Agricultural sector;
• foster and identify Hispanic undergraduate and graduate future leaders (students) who may be interested in your organization;
• promote greater Hispanic participation in Agriculture and related fields; and discuss emerging trends in higher education affecting Hispanics.

The deadline for students to apply is Friday, September 18, 2015. Any assistance you can provide in letting students know about this great professional development opportunity will be greatly appreciated.

The conference in will be at Courtyard & TownePlace Suites by Marriott DFW Airport North in Grapevine, TX.
