Who We Are
The International Leadership Alumni Conference (ILAC) is a group of like-minded leaders who are graduates of rural and agricultural leadership programs from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Scotland, and the United States. ILAC is designed to promote networking and professional development for the alumni of these programs as well as others who are interested in the experience. The group first formed in 1989 when the directors of these programs held their first IAPAL – International Association of Programs for Agricultural Leadership meeting in Point Clear, Alabama. The directors held their meeting and a small group of alumni attended as well. 1990 marked the first official ILAC meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana. The two groups met together from 1989–1992 and then decided to hold separate conferences each year thereafter.
ILAC continues to provide a great venue to meet other alumni and visit the host state or country and learn more about their agriculture and rural issues……we are celebrating more than 28 years of networking and friendships.
