Welcome

Leadership Agriculture Community

Hi, I’m Colleen, and I’m passionate about building stronger communities.

Your community should reflect the voices and values of the people who make it thrive. Through my career in agricultural advocacy, I’ve learned that we all have the power to influence how our community operates—simply by using our voice.

You don’t have to be an elected official (though you can be). You don’t have to speak in front of large groups (unless you want to). You don’t have to be an extrovert to make a difference. Participation can happen at your comfort level, whether that means leading a committee or just showing up and being present.

Because at the end of the day, what matters most is being part of your community.

GET TO KNOW YOUR INNER LEADER

Leadership is everywhere, and it’s time to redefine what it means. Leaders aren’t just CEOs, executive directors, or elected officials—they’re the parents supporting schools, the moms coaching little league, the parishioners serving their churches, and the grandparents volunteering at local hospitals. Leadership doesn’t have to feel overwhelming; it’s about stepping into your strengths at your own pace. Let Colleen guide you in discovering how embracing your inner leader can fuel your passions and inspire growth.
