Beef Advance

Academy for Developing Voices in Advocacy, Networking, Checkoff, And Engagement

About Beef Advance

Beef Advance is a new advocacy training program sponsored by The Kentucky Beef Council. The program is open to anyone interested in becoming a voice for beef, from producers, to industry professionals, and beyond. Throughout the one-year program participants take part in 5 seminars that work to improve advocacy and leadership skills, provide and understand a deeper understanding of the the beef industry across the state, ensure a thorough understanding of the role the beef checkoff plays in driving the demand for beef, and create a network of individuals committed to strengthening Kentucky’s beef industry and telling its story with confidence and authenticity.

The program consists of 5 in-state sessions, each lasting approximately 3 days.

The Beef Advance program will not be continuing into 2027. If you're interested in further leadership development programs, please look into the Kentucky Cattlemen's Foundation Leadership Program at the link below!
