“The VALOR program has been on my radar for a number of years as I have seen friends and colleagues participate in the program and come away from the experience with a valuable support network and insight which they put to work to advance agriculture in the Commonwealth and beyond. I am both excited and proud to join the seventh cohort of the VALOR program.”
