Each year Farmers Union Enterprises sponsors a program that is committed to developing and empowering future Farmers Union leaders in the FUE region of Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
Participant(s) experiences include:
- Visits and activities that enhance their knowledge of cooperatives and the role that Farmers Union plays.
- Training and hands-on experiences enabling effective leadership.
- Know-how to manage, coordinate and orchestrate meetings.
- A fly-in to Washington, D.C. to take part in the legislative process.
- Relationship-building and networking with other local, state, and national Farmers Union leaders through the National Farmers Union Convention and a State Convention.
- The pleasure of being involved with hard work and good times.
There is an expectation that FUEL participants will share their experiences with other members at the convention, in their local chapters, and/or in the Farmers Union newsletter. Your state staff will work with you.
If you are applying with a partner, please fill out one application for the both of you to be considered together. If you would like to be considered separately, please fill out separate applications.
