the last YMTD Lunch &amp; Learn of 2025\u2026<\/b><\/p><p class=\"elementtoproof\">In the last YMTD Lunch and Learn of 2025, we\u2019re equipping Fair Boards, Ag Societies, and volunteer led organizations with a simple, practical roadmap to make 2026 their strongest year yet. Great years don\u2019t happen by accident; they\u2019re planned, aligned, and set in motion months in advance.<\/p><p class=\"elementtoproof\">In this practical, interactive session, Ian Hill will walk participants through the key steps every board can take in the next 60 to 90 days to create clarity, strengthen alignment, and build momentum before the new year even begins. Leaders will leave with a focused set of priorities, a clear action plan, and the confidence to step boldly into a high impact 2026.<\/p><p>In volunteer led organizations like Fair Boards, Ag Societies, and nonprofits, we often carry too much, because we care too much. But leadership isn\u2019t about doing everything yourself; it\u2019s about building others up to do meaningful work alongside you.<\/p><p>In this high impact session, Ian , brings decades of grassroots leadership experience to help you shift from overwhelmed to empowered. You\u2019ll learn how to delegate with clarity, inspire ownership, and create the kind of team that gets things done, without burning out.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a000009d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a000009d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"margin: 0in;\"><b><span style=\"font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;

marketing tool; it\u2019s a community building powerhouse. For fair boards and societies, it\u2019s not about selling tickets or promoting events; it\u2019s about creating meaningful engagement that builds trust, fosters relationships, and strengthens community involvement. When done right, social media doesn\u2019t just spread awareness; it mobilizes supporters, attracts volunteers, deepens donor relationships, and sustains engagement long after the event ends.<br \/>This session will dive into how fair boards and Ag societies can use social media strategically to cultivate an online presence that resonates with their audience, increases participation, and strengthens community bonds.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a00000ec elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\"
