#PotatoExpo is always packed full of programming, events, and receptions to support the future of your businesses. The Kick-Off Reception, sponsored by Syngenta US, is your chance to help support the future of the potato industry by participating in the Potato LEAF Auction!
The Potato Leadership, Education, and Advancement Foundation (Potato LEAF) is a 501(c)3 organization that works to provide tools, training, and support necessary to develop growers and industry members as leaders. As part of its mission to encourage and train future leaders, the organization seeks to support graduate-level researchers driving innovation within the potato industry.
The deadline is quickly approaching to donate auction items for the live and silent auctions. The funds raised through these auctions will support the programs of the foundation, including the annual graduate-level scholarship, the Leadership Institute, and other educational programs centered around developing the next generation of potato industry leaders. All auction items must be donated by Dec. 2. Bidding on the silent auction will go live the following day, on Dec. 3. Learn more at www.pleaf.org.
