A Brief History of ILAC
ILAC – is designed to promote networking and professional development for alumni of RURAL and Agricultural Leadership programs around the world. Historically, ILAC attendees have come from Australia, Canada and a mojority of states (32) across the United States.
International Leadership Alumni Conference is a group of like minded leaders who are graduates of Rural and Ag leadership Training programs from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States. The group first formed in 1989 when the directors of these programs held their first IAPAL – International Assoc. of Programs for Agricultural Leadership meeting in 1989 in Point Clear, Alabama. The directors held their meeting and a small group of alumni attended as well. 1990 marked the first official ILAC meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana. The two groups met together from 1989 – 1992 and then decided to hold separate conferences each year thereafter.
ILAC continues to provide a great venue to meet other alumni and visit the host state or country and learn more about their agriculture and rural issues in the region……before you know it we will be celebrating 25 years of networking and friendships.
Kansas Agriculture and Rural Leadership has a page listing all of the programs under the umbrella of IAPAL
