Young Agricultural Professionals (YAP) are invited to take part in the “Connect and Grow: Jumpstarting Your Local YAP” online event, scheduled for Wednesday, September 3, 2025, from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. This virtual session is designed for members looking to start a new YAP group in their area or revitalize an existing one.
Hosted by the YAP State Committee, the webinar will provide a platform for idea-sharing, open discussions, and practical tips from peers across the state. Participants can expect to exchange strategies for building engagement, planning events, and fostering leadership within their local groups.
A special bonus awaits those who log in promptly at 8:00 p.m. Attendees will receive exclusive updates on the 2026 Winter Leadership Experience (WLE), including a quick introduction to the headlining keynote speaker, Coach Kiah.
In addition, one lucky participant will win a free registration to WLE 2026, making early attendance especially rewarding.
The Connect and Grow event aims to strengthen YAP networks and empower young professionals in agriculture to grow their leadership skills, expand connections, and make a greater impact in their communities.
Registration is required to join the session. Interested participants are encouraged to sign up in advance to secure their spot and receive the webinar link. This event offers a valuable opportunity to gain inspiration, learn from fellow YAP members, and prepare for upcoming leadership experiences.
