2010 Howard Wyman Sheep Industry Leadership School offers a Bonus Program

The 2010 Howard Wyman Sheep Industry Leadership School returns to Columbus, Ohio for a jam-packed program, including the well-known Lamb 509 course under the direction of Roger A. High, Dr. Henry Zerby, and Dr. Paul Kuber of The Ohio State University. The July 10-14, 2010 program combines parts of the ASI Regional Sheep Genetics Conference, Ohio Sheep Day, as well as the popular Lamb 509 program, plus the local tours, networking opportunities, and small group interactions typical of NLFA's Leadership School. The 2010 school will be an exceptional educational experience for producers, processors, and purveyors interested in sheep and lamb production.

The Leadership School will begin on Saturday, July 10th and conclude by noon on Wednesday, July 14th.

The 2010 combined Leadership School program is an extraordinary opportunity for anyone involved in the sheep and lamb industry. Individuals must be 20 years of age or older to apply. There is no fee to submit an application. A written essay is required, along with the name of one reference. Application deadline is May 1, 2010. Instructions are available on the NLFA web site: www.nlfa-sheep.org or contact info@nlfa-sheep.org.

Once accepted, participants must submit a $200 per person registration fee to confirm attendance. NLFA covers the cost of meals, lodging and tour expenses; however, each attendee is responsible for the cost of their transportation to and from the Ohio school site. For more information, call NLFA: (503) 364-5462.
