GFRAS GAM 2023: Thank you!

Close to 200 agricultural leaders and global experts in extension and rural advisory services gathered in Denver in October for the 14th Global Forum for Rural Advisory Services (GFRAS) Annual Meeting, sharing ideas and exploring strategies for producing the next generation of agricultural leaders. 

Attendees representing more than 40 countries and 2000 years of combined experience in extension participated in the three-day event, which was hosted by the North American Agricultural Advisory Network (NAAAN).

We want to thank NAAAN for hosting and organizing this successful event, and all who made it a success!
