The Perry & Dorris Beef Leadership Institute is now accepting applications for 2025. This institute has been established from an endowment from both Mr. and Mrs. Perry Teeter. The Teeter family feels a strong commitment to the development of our future beef industry leaders. They would like to give each youth who is willing to work hard and go the extra mile an opportunity to pursue training in leadership.
The Institute is designed to equip young people with the necessary tools needed to become an effective leader. Additionally, youth will be challenged to take the skills acquired at this event and put them into action in their home counties, districts, and at the state and national levels.
