The 8th Annual CIRB Emerging Leaders Program Class will be heading to Capitol Hill next week for their Spring Fly-In and Policy Conference to talk with policy makers about the importance of crop insurance as a risk management tool for farmers. This year’s class is the largest yet with 17 participants from 10 different companies.

At CIRB’s 59th annual meeting, we had the chance to meet 16 of the 17 emerging leaders and find out why this program is important to them. Take a listen.
