Two sessions of Communications Boot Camp will be held in Washington, D.C. in 2022. Participants will receive training on advocacy, public speaking, communicating with elected officials, social media strategy, targeted messaging and working with the media.

I can’t wait to share what I’ve learned with others involved in agriculture in my area. As farmers, it is so important to improve our skills and reach out to non-farmers who want to learn about what we do to produce food.
—  Stephanie Frisbee, Women’s Communications Boot Camp Graduate and North Carolina Farm Bureau Member
