Leadership conferences
The Angus Foundation provides support for the NJAA’s Raising the Bar and Leaders Engaged in Angus Development (LEAD) conferences through the Angus Fund. These annual events provide opportunities for juniors to learn, network and develop as future industry leaders.
Leaders Engaged in Angus Development
The LEAD conference travels to a new state each year, exposing NJAA members to different sectors of the agriculture industry. While exploring the region, youth gain perspective on unique agricultural practices, explore potential career opportunities and enhance their leadership skills through activities and speakers.

Attendees also network with peers from around the country, participate in personal development workshops and visit industry-relevant attractions in the area.
