Message from the President

Welcome to the Ag Lenders Society of California!

Since 1988, we have worked towards providing the best in agricultural-based training and education to our members.  Through the Ag Lenders Institute and the Fresno State School of Business, Ag Lenders is becoming an organization recognized throughout the country.  It’s this recognition that has enabled us to take the next step.  Over the next few months and throughout 2013, Ag Lenders will be enacting several new programs and events to make more educational and networking opportunities available than ever before.

• Education

In conjunction with the annual Ag Lending Institute (ALI) program, we are increasing the amount of training available to members throughout the year.  These programs will be available as preparation for the ALI program or simply as refresher courses.  Short courses will be offered in a variety of relevant topics, from accounting to foreclosure and everything in-between.  Taught by working professionals in their field of expertise, these courses will provide up-to-date, real world application.

• Networking

Ag Lenders is a unique association, in that our industry has a wide variety of professions within it.  Member professions range from bankers, attorneys, accountants and so on; all with specializations geared towards agriculture.  This provides a vast amount of knowledge and experience available. Especially for those beginning their career, we want to provide an opportunity for that resource to be utilized.  Beginning in May 2013, we will start having monthly, social mixers to encourage people in different fields to connect, share and relax.  Additionally, throughout the year we will sponsor other events to allow for more active participation by our members.  Stay tuned!
