and thus would like to let you know that we have created an opportunity for students to attend the upcoming conference by applying for a “student scholarship”. The purpose of this scholarship is to assist students with the cost of the conference registration,
meals associated with the conference, and hotel accommodations (based on double occupancy).</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<span style="font-size:11.0pt">The <i>Latinos in Agriculture Leaders Conference </i>
provides a unique venue for sharing information and ideas for the best and most promising practices in outreach to Hispanics for Agriculture. The objective of the conference is to facilitate the opportunity for industry, government, education, and future leaders
(students) to meet and discuss the transformation of the Latino Agricultural workforce of the future. The
<i>6th Annual Latinos in Agriculture Leaders Conference</i> will continue to engage stakeholders in capitalizing on the opportunities not yet fully explored with the Latino community in Agriculture and related fields.
