Illinois Agricultural Leadership Program (IALP) alumni gathered with the IALP Class of 2018 for an enjoyable evening on December 15, 2016 at the John Deere Pavilion in Moline, Illinois. Attendees conversed while surrounded by the history of one America’s most iconic companies. The John Deere Pavilion’s informative, interactive exhibits as well as the agriculture equipment on display made for a truly unique venue.
In the spirit of the season of giving, alumni and current IALP members participated in a food drive to benefit the Esparenza Center which serves those in need in the Quad Cities community. Four boxes of food items were delivered to the organization by IALP alumni.
The IALP’s next alumni event will be at the John Hancock Center in Chicago on Wednesday, January 18th.
