Are you a Promotion & Education volunteer or Young Farmer looking to learn, build leadership skills and network with other Farm Bureau members from across the country? The 2025 Fusion Conference with American Farm Bureau is a great opportunity; join us in Denver March 7-10.
Fusion’s goals are straightforward:
- Bring together members and leaders of the Promotion & Education, Women’s Leadership and Young Farmers & Ranchers programs to learn, share and grow to build a stronger Farm Bureau.
- Provide networking opportunities for members to share experiences, learn and connect with industry leaders and experts.
- Inspire members to apply new ideas back home, on their farms and in their Farm Bureau.
- Give back to the Denver community through charitable outreach and/or engagement programs/events.
- Provide current, accurate and valuable information through engaging sessions and workshops on AFBF’s four major focus areas:
- Consumer outreach
- Member value
- Advocacy, outreach and education
- Leadership development
This year’ Fusion Conference brings together dynamic speakers and interesting tours, all set in the beautiful Rocky Mountains.
Need a boost to attend? Apply for an MFB Leadership Development Scholarship of up to $1,500; they’re awarded to regular Farm Bureau members committed to taking part in a leadership-development program — and pledging to apply their newfound skills to benefit their county Farm Bureau.
Applicants are limited to one scholarship award per calendar year. Annual awards will be administered on a first come, first-serve basis until budgeted dollars are depleted.
Online applications are due by the 1st of each month; recipients will be notified via email by the 15th after review by a panel of Michigan Farm Bureau staff.
Some county Farm Bureaus may also have funds to assist members in attending.
