Recruitment Information for Next Class

"The thing I got most value from ALFH seminars is the ability I gained to improve my participation in meetings . . . Whether I am a participant, facilitator or running the meeting I have made great strides in listening, legitimizing, expressing my views and coming up with a plan or solution. It has changed my ideas/views on topics and I have been less critical of people. I tend to judge them less on a personal basis and try very hard to grasp their point of view."

Harry Cambra,
Class X

"In the beginning, the Program was a big commitment. But, every time we met I was grateful for the opportunity to participate. This whole experience was valuable beyond words."

Marla McCasland,
Class X

"The camaraderie amongst all the classes who come together, largely in part to their loyalty and appreciation of Donna Ching, is amazing to experience. Indeed, everyone continues to support the program by being there, but it’s the bond that has been developed over time that brings them back."

Lani Wiegert,
Class XI

"Cowboys are greenies too, but no one needs to know that; it’s part of our subterfuge. I keep my Birkenstocks hidden in my closet."

Corky Bryan,
Class II

"I can’t imagine where I would be without it! I have applied the skills learned in countless ways in my work and frame many aspects of my life differently as a result of ALP. It has been amazing to have a toolbox of skills for facilitating, listening, and designing processes to manage, etc."

Tova Callender,
Class XI

"I have both a broader and deeper understanding of current agriculture and the people farming, ranching, and improving their communities because of this program . . . The value of this program to my job is worth many times the time and dollars it costs to be a participant."

Kevin Kinvig,
Class X

"The experience of the Ag leadership training as part of Class X was invaluable to me and well worth the cost in time and money. The time commitment, though great, was almost always a welcome break in my busy life. "

Diana Duff,
Class X

"This program will help you grow as a leader and develop life-long relationships with other key leaders in the agricultural sector in Hawaii. By program completion, you will be a more vocal, confident spokesperson for your commodity and agriculture as a whole."
