Whether you lead a Fair Board, Ag Society, or nonprofit, strategy isn’t just paperwork—it’s your compass. A clear, community-driven plan unites people, aligns resources, and brings purpose to every meeting, event, and decision.

In this powerful session, Ian welcomes Tim Carson, CEO of AAAS and recipient of the 2024 IAFE Executive of the Year Award. Tim has helped guide strategic planning across Alberta’s 290+ ag societies—and he’ll share how local leaders like you can move from maintenance to momentum. This isn’t theory. It’s tools, frameworks, and practical guidance that works in real-world, volunteer-led organizations like yours.
