The American Gelbvieh Junior Association (AGJA) and the North American Limousin Junior Association (NALJA) are teaming up for the second biannual POWER Conference. The 2016 event, Forging Friendships in the Flint Hills, will be held August 4-7 in Manhattan, Kansas.

POWER Conference (Peers Organizing Winning Effective Results) is a leadership conference for junior members of both associations, ages 14-21 as of January 1, 2016. This conference is a four day event which includes leadership workshops, motivational speakers and industry tours. The focus of the conference is to increase the young leaders’ knowledge of the industry and organization, build leadership skills, and strengthen relationships between the next generation of the Gelbvieh and Limousin breeds.

Participants must be a member of either the AGJA or NALJA; it’s not too late to become a junior member of either organization. Membership applications can be found on both association websites.

The registration fee for the conference is $200. After May 15, 2016, prices increase to $250 with a late entry deadline of June 15, 2016. Juniors interested in attending the event can find the application under the juniors section of both www.gebvieh.org and www.NALF.org.
