(KLZA)--The Nebraska Agricultural Leadership Council is looking for 30 Nebraskans involved with agriculture to take part in LEAD Class 36 which begins this fall.

LEAD, which stands for Leadership Education / Action Development, is a two-year program started in 1981.

Terry Hejny, who serves as Director of the program, tells MSC News he's currently in the process of recruiting new members. “They'll participate in twelve, three day team based seminars across the state of Nebraska. Our folks are generally between the age of 25 and 50, so we're looking for people that are open minded, who have the time to commit to the program.”

This year, LEAD will surpass 1,000 program graduates, who, Hejny says, give back to their communities. “We're very proud of the fact that our graduates are back in their communities, helping make their communities a better place to live.”

The application deadline for those interested is June 15th.

For more information you can call 402-472-6810.

Tuition for the two-year program is $2,500. LEAD raises $15,000 for each participant.
