The Mission of the Georgia Agri-Leaders Forum Foundation is to build leadership capacity for agriculture, agribusiness, forestry and rural communities in Georgia.

The Forum is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization as determined by the IRS.  The Forum conducts its leadership training program through six Study Institutes over the calendar year.  The Forum starts a new class in January of each year.

The Study Institute Program of the Georgia Agri-Leaders Forum is an intensive exposure to a wide range of issues and policy discussion.  These range from the economy to governmental process, as well as, a liberal opportunity to broaden leadership skills.  The one-year program consists of six Study Institutes covering issues affecting those committed to agriculture, agribusiness, forestry and leadership in rural Georgia.  Four In-State Institutes are structured in a three-day/two night format; A Government-in-Session (Atlanta/Washington DC) Institute covers eight days; and a National Travel Experience Institute in another state covers six days.  Each Institute stresses leadership skills and generates sensitivity to pertinent issues, giving the participants an in-depth understanding of what it takes to get involved in bringing about solutions to political, economical, cultural, social, agricultural, agribusiness, forestry and leadership issues in rural Georgia.
