NexGEN Leadership Program launches in October!

by Tristan Zuber, Dairy Foods Specialist –  Harvest NY Program

As mentioned in our previous newsletter, Cornell has teamed up with the International Dairy Foods Association to create the first opportunity for leadership development in the dairy foods industry.  The first ever NexGEN Symposium will be held October 6-8th at Cornell University and will feature exposure to the dairy industry from production, to processing, to supply chain distribution.  The program is also designed to enhance personal and professional networks, increase self-awareness and improve leadership skills in a way that can drive change within an organization.

The Symposium will feature discussions from world-renowned professors, including Dr. Andy Novakovic and Dr. Josh Woodard from Cornell University’s Dyson School of Economics.  Participants will also be touring a Central New York Dairy Farm, the International Food Network and the Cornell Dairy Plant.  An entire day will be devoted to innovation within the dairy foods industry with a presentation by 3M and Dairy Management, Inc.  For more information or to register, please check out this link on the IDFA website
