"The McGuinty government is proud to continue its support for the Centre for Rural Leadership and the important rural leadership programs it offers," says Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Leona Dombrowsky. The government is investing $152,000 over two years to sup- port the Advanced Agricultural Leadership Program (AALP), one of the longest -running and most successful agricultural leadership development programs in the world. The $76,000 funding announce- ment is the second installment in under a two year Memorandum of Understanding signed by the province and the Centre for Rural Leadership which runs the pro- gram. "The Ontario government has supported the AALP program since the beginning," says execu- tive director of The Centre for Rural Leadership Rob Black. "Their ongoing support has helped these leaders achieve new levels of success and has strength- ened agriculture and rural com- munities throughout the province," Black adds. Through a series of seminars, study tours, self-directed learning and distance education over a 19 - month period, 30 AALP partici- pants develop leadership skills, an increased knowledge of the agri- food system and perspectives on critical issues in the industry and rural community. Participants also expand their networks across the agri-food and rural sectors in North America and internationally.
