The International Production & Processing Expo is seeking to engage and invest in young professionals, between the ages of 21 and 29, who work for companies directly involved in the production and processing of poultry and meat or in the production of animal food. In 2021, the Young Leaders Under 30 Program will pivot to an online format under the name “IPPE Linked In With Tomorrow’s Leaders.”
Designed to recognize leadership qualities in young professionals, the program will include participation in a LinkedIn group and online meet-ups with key industry leaders to further their leadership development. Recipients will receive access to education to further training in their respective industry through automatic registration of all IPPE complimentary education programs and one paid program, pending approval, that will be offered during IPPE Digital Week from January 25 – 29, 2021. Selected recipients will also receive a plaque.
Interested applicants must apply to the program by December 1, 2020, and meet select requirements, including being a member of at least one of the following IPPE sponsor organizations: the American Feed Industry Association, North American Meat Institute or U.S. Poultry & Egg Association. No more than two applicants from a single member organization may be nominated. A panel of industry professionals will review the applications and award recipients will be notified of the panel’s decision by December 18. The application and details about the program can be found on IPPE's website.
