MARL to me has meant many things.  It has reinforced for me the power of in-person learning and relationship building. It has taught me that when surrounded by a strong group of natural leaders that you can step back and follow and still be super impactful. It was an epic experience that I’m so grateful to have shared.

Confidence in communicating, approaching public officials and elected officials. Ability to advocate for farmers in my personal and professional life at many levels.
