Lindsey Morgan graduates from AFBF Communications Boot Camp

Lindsey Morgan of Pierce County is one of 13 farm and ranch women leaders who graduated from the fall session of Women’s Communications Boot Camp hosted by the American Farm Bureau Federation.

The agricultural leaders completed an intensive four-day course that featured hands-on sessions focused on public speaking, working with the media and messaging. Program graduates will use their training to strategically support issues important to farmers and help tell agriculture’s story. This includes participating in local media opportunities, sharing information with elected officials and joining social media campaigns that spotlight modern agriculture.

“Women are shaping the future of agriculture with their insight, resilience and leadership,” said Isabella Chism, an Indiana row crop farmer and chair of the AFB Women’s Leadership Committee. “Boot Camp graduates are well on their way to becoming more polished advocates for agriculture. Their growth will benefit their communities and Farm Bureau on local, state and national levels.”

Morgan serves as the Pierce County Farm Bureau Women’s Leadership Committee Chair, and she is the GFB 10th District Women’s Leadership Chairperson. She teaches social studies at Ware County High School. She and her husband, David, run a diversified farm operation. The Morgans won the GFB Young Farmers & Ranchers Achievement Award in 2022 and competed in the American Farm Bureau Federation national competition in 2023.

Other Boot Camp graduates are Sheri Gaskins of Colorado; Megan Espinda of Indiana; Cynthia Doise and Marylynn Waddle of Louisiana; Macey McDonald of New Mexico; Heather Lifsey and Rachel Stricklin of North Carolina; Angel Brabham and Caroline Lewis of South Carolina; Jackie Larson of Utah; Kristin Beery of Virginia; and Jessica Haberman of Washington.

“It’s inspiring to see so many Farm Bureau women rise to the challenge of becoming top-tier advocates for agriculture,” said AFBF President Zippy Duvall. “Their commitment to leadership and learning is a powerful example, and we’re proud to support them on this journey.”

This is the 23rd Boot Camp hosted by AFBF. The program has 341 graduates and is open to all women involved in Farm Bureau.
