(Great Falls) Current Great Falls resident Rachel Prevost, who serves as the Executive Director of the Montana Farmers Union, recently completed the first seminar of REAL Montana (Resource Education and AgricultureLeadership) Class VII. For Prevost and fellow members of Class VII, the September seminar marked the beginning of their two-year leadership and educational program.
The inaugural seminar, “Building a Leader” focused on introducing class members to the REALMontana program, building a strong class foundation through team-building and personality assessments, and beginning leadership development through guest speakers, tours, and professional training.
Class members participated in professional etiquette and growth mindset training , and discussions with REAL Montana alumni about their leadership experiences. REAL Montana builds a network of informed and engaged leaders to advance Montana’s agriculture and natural resource industries. REAL Montana is funded through a partnership with Montana State University Extension and private industry. Oversight is provided by an advisory board of industry leaders.
