Event Description

The Rural Ontario Institute, host of the renowned Advanced
Agricultural Leadership Program (AALP), is excited to announce Dr. Rebecca Sutherns, popular author, professional facilitator and coach will be the featured speaker at The Leadership Lecture and Reception. Tickets are now on sale for this premiere event.

“Imagination isn’t just for dreamers—it’s for leaders,” says Gabrielle Ferguson, Leadership Programs Director at ROI. “This session will inspire and equip listeners to think differently and
act boldly in shaping the future. It is the capstone element of the Advanced AgriculturalLeadership Program (AALP).”

The event will be held on March 27, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the DoubleTree by Hilton located at 30 Fairway Rd South in Kitchener. The evening will kick off with a cocktail reception,
providing an opportunity for attendees to network with community leaders, AALP alumni, current participants of AALP Class 20, program sponsors and distinguished guests.

During her talk, Dr. Sutherns will delve into how stepping into a future we desire—whether at a societal, organizational or personal level—requires us to go beyond evidence and embrace the power of imagination.

“By attending this event attendees will discover why imagination is a vital skill we must grow into, not out of, and learn how to incorporate it into their leadership toolkit,” says Dr. Sutherns. Rebecca has a PhD in Sustainable Rural Communities, and is a Certified Professional Facilitator and coach, frequent keynote speaker and has written three books on adaptable leadership. She is a skilled communicator with a gift for helping leaders and organizations reimagine their next chapter.

Its latest Farmers and Food Prices Report indicates the trend has not changed much since the organization began analyzing six products in 2021-22. “Our data continues to show a consistent story,” said president Bill Prybylski. “Food prices are rising, but the farmer’s share is actually shrinking.” The report, which was released in June for 2024-25, actually showed a little bump in the farmer share of two products:retail pork and canola oil. “I was a little surprised that some of the numbers have actually reversed, but when you think about it, I guess it makes sense that canola prices have rebounded a little bit compared to where they were,” Prybylski said. APAS tracks the farmer share of several food products by comparing the retail price with the producer price for the initial commodity. These include a 675-gram load of
