Welcome to the Nebraska LEAD Program!
The Nebraska LEAD Program began in 1981 to develop leaders to help shape the future of the state's agricultural industry. The constant changes that occur in agricultural policy, marketing, economics and technology point to the need for strong leaders to advocate for the heart of Nebraska's economy. Now, in its fourth decade of pioneering agricultural leaders, the Nebraska LEAD Program has evolved into one of the nation's premier agricultural leadership development programs.
The program is recognized both statewide and nationally as an innovative organization that has contributed to the success of Nebraska agriculture. The program's 1,100+ alumni have served - or continue to serve - on commodity boards, extension boards, school boards and church councils.
