LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE ANNOUNCES AWARDS

The Wedgworth Leadership Institute Alumni Association has announced it will sponsor the Eugene Trotter Leadership Award, a new award for leaders in Florida's agriculture and natural resources industry. Created as a tribute to Dr. Eugene Trotter, founding director of the Wedgworth Leadership Institute for Agriculture and Natural Resources (WLIANR), the Eugene Trotter Leadership Award is intended to honor leaders in the agriculture industry who have exemplified personal values, performance, and achievement in Florida. It also recognizes and publlicizes high standards within the state's agriculture industry as a whole.

Any individual who has been involved with the agriculture and natural resources industry for a minimum of 10 years is eligible for this award. Nominees should have made significant contributions to Florida's agricultural and natural resources industry, beyond the local level and beyond the nominee's paid profession.
The award winner will be recognized with a plaque and monetary gift during a ceremony at the Wedgworth Leadership Institute Alumni Association annual meeting, to be held in Tampa, June 24-26, 2005. A link to the award application is available at http://wlialumni.ifas.ufl.edu/.

The deadline for award nominations is Friday, May 20, 2005. For more information, contact the Wedgworth Leadership Institute program office at (352) 392-1038.
