PROGRAM INFORMATION
ALP is the signature training program of the Agricultural Leadership Foundation of Hawai‘i (ALFH), a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization established in 1982. ALP is a multi-disciplinary statewide program that brings together promising leaders from Hawai‘i’s diverse agriculture sector. ALP focuses on developing knowledgeable, multicultural leaders who have the skills necessary to find solutions to current issues that challenge agriculture, natural resources and communities at local, state and national levels.
ALP offers participants an in-depth look at Hawai'i's diverse agricultural system through in-person site visits that explore challenges and opportunities associated with agricultural operations; provide insights into the supply chain, transportation and value-added activities; and increase exposure to government policymaking and implementation. Participants will take part in workshops that focus on leadership and skill development as well as activities that provide network building opportunities. These three components combine to help participants develop the knowledge, tools and relationships to be more successful in their professional and community endeavors.
