Waldrep Leonhard joins GFB as educational programs Manager

On Dec. 1, Georgia Farm Bureau (GFB) welcomed Caroline Waldrep Leonhard as its educational programs manager.

Waldrep Leonhard has worked as the events and outreach coordinator with the Georgia Cattlemen’s Association for the last several years. Her previous work includes stints as office manager with Bryan County Farm Bureau and as an agriculture teacher at Portal Middle School. She graduated from the University of Georgia with a bachelor’s degree in agricultural education and earned her master’s degree in education from Auburn University.

“We are looking forward to all Caroline will bring to our educational programs,” GFB President Tom McCall said. “Her work experience is excellent but her ‘growing up’ surrounded by Farm Bureau people is an even better plus.”

Caroline has been active with Georgia Farm Bureau as a member of Monroe County Farm Bureau and has been involved in the Young Farmers and Ranchers Program.

She lives in Macon with her husband, Timmy Leonhard.

As educational programs manager, Waldrep Leonhard will oversee GFB’s Ag In The Classroom program, through which GFB works to increase agricultural literacy among children and the general public. It provides tools for more effective teaching about agriculture and its role in an interdependent society, and to assist Georgia ’s educators in implementing the instruction of agriculture-related concepts in the classroom.
