The National Aquaculture Association (NAA) is accepting applications to the Mike Clark Aquaculture Farmer Leadership Program. The program is to help young farmers that are interested in becoming leaders at the state or national level to create, contribute to, and strengthen state or national aquaculture organizations.
The NAA’s leadership program was created to recognize and honor Mike Clark of Central Arkansas Fisheries. Mr. Clark was an exemplary farmer, family and community leader who unselfishly, quietly, and with great personal integrity furthered the growth of U.S. aquaculture through his leadership and personal contributions to the NAA and other farmer organizations.
To qualify for this program, an applicant must be in a farm management position. The applicant must recognize the value and benefit of improving their leadership skills and cannot have served in a leadership role in a national aquaculture organization. The applicant must demonstrate to the NAA Board of Director’s satisfaction a strong desire to improve their leadership skills and a recognition of the considerable time, effort and investment required to become an effective leader.
Applications will be accepted from December 1, 2018 through January 18, 2019. Successful applicants will be announced during the Plenary Session of Aquaculture 2019 on March 8, 2019.
Interested applicants should contact the NAA Office for additional information or an application package at 850-216-2400 or naa@thenaa.net.
