Over the next year, in addition to learning the role of the NCC within the U.S. cotton industry, the selected class will visit with industry leaders, tour production and processing operations, and observe research activities.
They will attend the NCC's Annual Meeting, visit with lawmakers in Washington, DC, and participate in orientation sessions with Cotton Incorporated, the New York Board of Trade and DuPont Crop Protection.
Ron Nickell, the Marketing Cooperative representative of the 2003 class, said of his experience in the program, “What a benefit it is to go to different industry segments, talk to the decision makers and get their perspective on the issues of the day. I wish that everyone in the cotton industry could go through the leadership program. Our Industry would be the better for it.”
More than 200 industry members have participated in the Leadership Program since its inaugural 1983-84 class. The Program is supported by a generous grant to the Cotton Foundation from DuPont Crop Protection and is administered by NCC's Member Services department.
