In the world of agricultural communications and public relations, training and preparation are key. Unfortunately, many students today don’t have access to the training necessary to become great communicators. The AgChat Foundation has been working for years to help build the next generation of agricultural advocates.

This January AgChat Foundation is hosting the first Collegiate Congress, a conference for college-aged students to help build their communications skill set, both online and off-line. How can you help? If your office has an intern, send them to the conference. If you know of other young people looking to become better leaders, encourage them to attend as well and share the word with your colleagues within the industry.
