Abstract: The Canadian Farm Business Management Council is launching an ambitious initiative to invest in the human and social capital of the agri-food industry in Canada. The Canadian Agriculture Lifetime Leadership (CALL) Program is selecting thirty men and women from across Canada for an intensive, two-year program of leadership development and networking. The program's content provides advanced knowledge in leadership, politics, international and agricultural issues, while its process encourages networking and the building of leadership skills such as public speaking, issues analysis and decision making. The delivery of the program involves four in-person seminars in different regions of Canada, two study travel seminars within North America, and an innovative, computer-mediated conferencing system. The University of Saskatchewan Extension Division is providing administrative and academic support to program design, implementation and evaluation. The following paper explains the background, objectives, content and delivery strategies of the CALL Program.
