CALF LEADERSHIP

We are an Ag Leadership commUNITY.Bob Gray and Jeff Elder

Despite a new board chair and a retiring president, our focus was steady and firm this fiscal year. We will offer an update on the program, a review of recruiting for the program (the people report), and a review of the philanthropy that sustains the program. These many gifts of time, talent, and treasure involve a huge number of alumni and other volunteers who support the many important events that take place every year, and without whom nothing here could be done. Thank you to one and all. We are enormously grateful for your support.

The “new” curriculum, focusing on “leadership from the inside out” since 2012, was delivered to the fourth group of fellows in Class 46, who started in the fall of 2015. This class, similar to the ones before it, witnessed another recent-era record high number of applicants for the program (looking at the last 14 years). We thank everyone who helped convince these fine emerging leaders to get involved in this program.

Any mention of Ag Leadership has to include at the top of the list the now 1,300+ distinguished and dedicated alumni who make everything we do possible. They are, after all, why we have a program in the first place. They fill the Alumni Council with their talent and enthusiasm, and the Alumni Council has spent most of this fiscal year reinventing itself for a future of “servant leadership” that will generate a strong culture of volunteerism. Alumni comprise about three-quarters of the board of directors. And they are the leading stakeholders in the financial future of the foundation, as well as the program. We are deeply in their debt.

Finally, we are pleased with where we are financially, even though 2016 was not a strong fiscal year compared with the last few we have reported. Equity markets paused in anticipation of a change in national administrations, affecting the performance of the endowment through June 30, 2016. Having said that, almost $2.9 million of pledges to the endowment were paid during the fiscal year and three new special purpose accounts added approximately $117,000 of new donations in addition to regular patterns of giving. Finally, we continue to receive a “clean” audit opinion on our financial management practices.

We have retooled the staff during the fiscal year, eliminating one supporting position while recruiting a new president, Barry Bedwell, a graduate of Class 13, who will assume the reins on August 1, 2016. The foundation is in good hands with Barry and the future is bright. So we say a grateful goodbye to Bob as we welcome Barry.

To everyone who has contributed their time, or talent, or treasure to the success of this program, we cannot thank you enough for making our mission possible: “We grow leaders who make a difference,” and for empowering our vision: “California agricultural leaders united as a catalyst for a vibrant industry.” We look forward to tomorrow.

International Travel Seminar

Lessons Learned in Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand

While in Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand for their international seminar, Class 45 fellows learned about cultures and economic systems that added diversity and a variety of leadership lessons to their Ag Leadership experience.

One of the first experiences of the seminar was at the village of Som Rhong. The class visited this village through a partnership developed with the Rotary Club of Phnom Penh and the Rotary Clubs of Salinas, Loyalton, Firebaugh and District 5190. The clubs donated $5,000, which was used to purchase 280 water filters for families in the village. The filters provide clean and safe filtered water for 1,500 people, including 900 children, in an area where one in five children under the age of five dies as a result of water quality-related illnesses.

“We were there not only to have a once in lifetime experience, but also to live the leadership models we have thus far been given—classroom and books to real life experience.” -International Seminar Blog (Rick Rhody, Jeff Milinovich and Brian Neufeld)

During their seminar, the fellows learned a considerable amount about Vietnamese politics and economics. Although Vietnam is governed by a communist political party, it functions more like an elitist oligarchy. Vietnam is working on linking its economy to the global economy through free trade agreements. Vietnam is the 12th largest export market for both the United States and California.

The fellows also visited Dien Bien Phu, Vietnam. The province is considered one of the poorest regions in Vietnam and is home to more than 40 ethnic groups. Located in the northwest area of the country, near the Laos border, it was the setting for a significant battle during the French Indochina War and an excellent location to take away valuable leadership lessons.

“Our leadership takeaways from the day included a realization that while our democracy may be frustratingly gridlocked on important issues, the existence of a stable political system allows us to be on a path of continuous improvement. We were also reminded that being prepared, knowing your message and being ready to deliver it at any point in time are the foundations of effective leadership when working in challenging cultural and political environments.”-International Seminar Blog (Correen Davis, Brad Lindemann, Chris Jensen and Rob Goff)

“As we made it back to our families from our journey through Southeast Asia, we brought back fresh perspectives with unique experiences. At each of the countries we visited, we experienced a degree of instability created by corruption in government and a struggle for power. In Cambodia, a fear of civil war predicated on the outcome of the next election; in Vietnam, we experienced a communist run government with a capitalistic economy; in Thailand, the anticipation of the unknown fallout with an ailing king in an already volatile country. The leadership lessons learned in these countries have enriched our perspectives, opened our minds, and helped us better understand the unintended consequences of both war and colonialism in Southeast Asia.” -International Seminar Blog (Tou Her, Tyson Heusser and Cameron Mauritson)

In February 2016, Class 45 presented Fresno’s Poverello House with a $100,000 donation to purchase a food truck which will provide hot meals and fresh produce to rural communities in the San Joaquin Valley.

“From the bottom of my heart—thank you so much to everyone who helped make this possible,” said Cruz Avila, executive director of the Poverello House. “We provide hope and services to folks that really do need it, and now we can go to those pockets of communities that we weren’t able to serve before.”

Drawing on their experience in foodservice and resource management, the Poverello House will operate the food truck with the goal of providing free meals to individuals in need. A

a case manager will go with the food truck with the purpose of linking rural residents

to county services such as mental health and social services. The truck

will travel to rural communities approximately four times a

week. During the spring and summer, Poverello

House plans to secure seasonal products

for the food truck.

National Travel Seminar

Lessons Learned in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C.

Class 46 fellows were in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. in March 2016 for their national travel seminar. During the seminar, the class had many high-impact moments that provided meaningful leadership lessons and deepened their understanding of government, national issues and the impacts of leadership decisions.

On their first full day on the East Coast, the class began at meetings with Congressmen John Garamendi and Jeff Denham at the Capitol. In keeping with Ag Leadership tradition, fellows spent time at the Supreme Court for a meeting with a current justice. This year, the meeting was with Justice Anthony Kennedy who spoke to the group about his childhood, growing up in Sacramento and his current service at the Supreme Court.

In Baltimore, fellows spent time learning about the Black Lives Matter movement. This part of the seminar took the class to many significant places in Baltimore, including the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African-American History and Culture; Intersection of Change and the Sandtown-Winchester neighborhood.

While in Baltimore, the class visited an urban farm in the heart of Sandtown-Winchester which grows leafy greens in hoop

houses owned by the city and rented to Strength to Love II (S2L2) for $1 per year. S2L2 is in partnership with a wholesale produce company which sells to food service customers and farmers markets. The ultimate goal of the farm is to provide food to the residents of the Sandtown-Winchester neighborhood.

In Pennsylvania fellows spent time learning about the Battle of Gettysburg with a licensed battlefield guide who shared his knowledge of the area’s history with the group in preparation for a re-enactment of the leadership decision-making processes that took place between key generals at Gettysburg.

The class also enjoyed visits with area lobbyists who shared their experiences on current water, GMO labeling, immigration and the Trans-Pacific Partnership; briefings at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building by White House legislative liaisons and a reception with Ag Leadership alumni and distinguished guests.

“Thank you to the California Agricultural Leadership Foundation for giving us this opportunity to experience leadership and personal growth through the lens of our nation’s great history. This experience has left many impacts on our hearts and in our minds. We are all grateful to be coming home to our families where we will continue to process the lessons learned on this trip.”-National Seminar Blog (Erin Amaral, Beau Howard and Jorge Inestroza)

QUOTES

Ed Boutonnet, Class 3Ag Leadership helped us raise the bar in our organization. We continue to support the program because of what it helped us do over the years. It’s like getting married, going into the service—you have four to five life-changing events in your life, and for me, Ag Leadership was one of those events that made a huge difference in my life.

Dale Huss, Class 19Really the benefit is to the individual and to the organization because it takes you to another level professionally by exposing you to different situations you have not been exposed to before. It allows you to bring those experiences back and give you a new perspective moving forward.

Art Barrientos, Class 24It opened quite a few doors for me. I saw that I had the confidence to call someone in the industry and have a conversation about a certain subject. Prior to my Ag Leadership experience, I would’ve hesitated to do that.

Joe Pezzini, Class 28It’s an investment in the future of the organization—we’ve had many people on the management team, who are helping to guide the organization, go through Ag Leadership. It’s been a tremendous value for everyone involved.

Jeff Post, Class 32For me, Ag Leadership and Ocean Mist Farms go together

congruently. The program provided me with tremendous leadership opportunities and education that help me succeed in my work.

Jorge Suarez, Class 41Univision started talking to me about labor issues. They would come to me and and ask me about laws and issues that, had I not been trained through Ag Leadership, I wouldn’t have been as effective as I was able to be. I gained so much knowledge.

Cameron Mauritson, Class 45It was an honor and a privilege to sit in the nation’s highest court with Justice Scalia. To sit in the same courtroom where so many important decisions have been made on behalf of our country’s future, is an experience we will never forget. I can’t stop thinking about what Justice Scalia meant when he stated: “If you don’t get the reasoning right, you have got it all wrong.”

Stephen Patricio, Class 19I believe that as graduates, we should all make it our mission, at a minimum, to pay back what was invested in each of us. If we did this, the goal of keeping Ag Leadership sustainable into the future would be met. Ag Leadership presents an opportunity unlike any other—I’m a big believer in the difference it makes in people.

Garrett Patricio, Class 38The program was of tremendous value. I went through it at a time when it really served me well

both as an individual and in this business. I’m a family man too, and I can translate some of the lessons to my family as much as I can in my day-to-day work.

John Schaap, Class 39Ag Leadership had a great impact on me—I grew a lot through the program and I really committed to becoming a lifelong learner. My participation has helped to equip me for some great challenges that have come my way. I am tremendously grateful for the experiences I had, the things that I learned, and all of the people that I met through Ag Leadership.

Loren Booth, Class 27Thank you for your support during my tenure as chair; it is one of the greatest experiences of my life. As I said before, Ag Leadership has given me so much more than I can ever give back. I love our mission statement, “We grow leaders who make a difference.” Amen!

Mike Young, Class 35I thank the foundation and the program for challenging me and giving me the tools and confidence to step outside of myself—knowing that I have the ability and the duty to lead wherever I am called.

Roxanna Smith, Class 19When I was growing up, my mother was always involved in community groups and outreach in lower served communities and that gave me the opportunity to see things that made me grateful for where I was. The same thing

happened to me while I was in Ag Leadership—I saw things with a different set of eyes—it made me consider what we, as an ag community, can bring to the table.

Frank Hilliker, Class 32Ag Leadership really helped give me the tools and confidence I needed to handle all the media requests that were coming my way. I’ve been the go-to person for a lot of media in San Diego and Southern California when there’s a story about eggs or chickens.

Jensen Devaurs, Class 43There were some great leadership lessons learned through the California Exchange classroom sessions. The fellows seemed to really have appreciated “Crucial Conversations” and they all said they would be using what they learned in their daily work and even home lives.

Jeff Elder, Class 35Lots of changes indeed in 2015, but all with a succession plan in mind. That plan involves continuity, stability and an orderly transfer of knowledge and Ag Leadership traditions in the key leadership roles. 2016 promises to see the fulfillment of some of these important changes and preparation for still others. Stay tuned! It is an exciting time for Ag Leadership as we recruit a third generation of program fellows for Class 47.

Deanna van Klaveren, Class 32The catalyst for the strategic alignment was the fact that the foundation and the Education Team

had gone through their strategic plans, so it made sense for the Alumni Council to align themselves now to the standards that were set by the foundation and program. What we had before wasn’t fitting in the updated model and now we’re bringing everyone together so the foundation is cohesive.

Rob Goff, Class 45I am eternally grateful for this experience and try to remain diligent at not taking anything for granted. Before the program, I thought I was on the right path. Now, I feel I have corrected course and I’m headed to where I need to be.

Rick Rhody, Class 45The Ag Leadership journey has opened my eyes to a new arena—a new perspective.

Lauren Reid Acevedo, Class 45I realized I needed to let myself be part of this program and to be all in. I can say that Ag Leadership hasn’t changed my life—but it has given me the tools to understand who I am as a person. It has given me the opportunity to let me let go of what was holding me back.

George Radanovich, Class 21I hear from many Ag Leadership alumni and they say that meeting with Justice Scalia was the highlight of the trip and, in some cases, their lives. I get it, but [Justice Scalia] would say, “Please, it’s just me, I’m a person like you.”
