It’s time to submit your application for the Cotton Leadership Class of 2006. This program is managed by the National Cotton Council through a grant to the Cotton Foundation from Dupont Crop Protection. You can find out how to apply on the Cotton Leadership Program’s web site.

The NCC’s Cotton Leadership Program is geared to individuals who have the potential and desire to become leaders for the US cotton industry. Participants receive developmental training during five week-long sessions across the Cotton Belt. The class interacts with industry leaders and visits farms, processing operations and research facilities. They also meet with lawmakers and government agency representatives during a visit to Washington, DC, and attend the NCC’s annual meeting and its mid-year board of directors meeting.
