How to Apply
For each two-year class, CARL has space for twenty members. CARL and its supporters recruit enthusiastic Coloradoans committed to agriculture and rural Colorado. They should be recognized as emerging leaders who are directly involved in agriculture, agribusiness, rural industries, rural communities or natural resource management.
Individuals can request applications directly from CARL or may be nominated by others.
Individuals may be in the early or middle phase of their leadership career and are looking for that next level of training or experience. They may want a more broadly based experience, which can bridge the complete issues facing agriculture and rural Colorado. CARL may augment what they have already learned through leadership of their farm or ranch organization, community boards, current career or holding other elected offices.
