ASTA Leadership Summit Offers Key Industry Learning for Early-Career Professionals, Student Participants

As part of the different career tracks developed for the ASTA Leadership Summit, held June 15-19 in Nashville, TN, one of the targeted learning objectives is specifically designed to serve the leadership development needs of early-career professionals and agriculture students. “Think of it as a company retreat,” says ASTA Chair Dave Armstrong, highlighting how this event is the only leadership development program specifically designed for the seed industry.

We encourage our more seasoned industry professionals to bring those colleagues just starting their careers to collaborate, through interactive exercises, on the most crucial aspects of the seed business and show them how to develop leadership skills in each area. The Early-Career section of the registration website offers an overview of what can be gained for this specific type of employee, and even provides a template letter to ask permission to go. The Student Program delivers a two-day dedicated track of student-focused sessions, including the launch of the new ASTA Student Committee, a student poster presentation showcase and a career fair.

With Nashville as the backdrop, the event also provides plenty of opportunities to network while having fun. Register today!
