GFB looking for next ambassadors: You could be one!

Georgia Farm Bureau (GFB) is looking for the individuals to serve as its 2025 Ambassador Team to represent the organization at GFB and major Georgia ag events next year. Online applications for the 2025 program are open through 11:59 p.m., Oct. 21.

GFB Federation Ambassadors will work alongside GFB staff assisting in several member recruitment, public relations and brand awareness campaigns.

This program is part of GFB’s effort to promote GFB membership to consumers, especially younger generations.

“It is our mission to ensure that GFB serves as the voice of famers, and the GFB Ambassador team serves as a steppingstone in closing the generational gap. Our ambassadors have many peers who are several generations removed from the family farm, and it is our desire that they have the opportunity and tools available to them to educate those around them of the importance of ag in our great state,” said Keaton Walker, GFB corporate engagement & membership manager. “We look forward to showcasing these talented young adults during their year of service at Georgia Farm Bureau.”

Candidates looking to join the program will be chosen based on their interpersonal skills, passion for agriculture advocacy, innovative thinking and overall enthusiasm. Applicants must be over the age of 18 to apply and must commit to a year of service.

Each ambassador will be expected to attend an orientation weekend in January and work events throughout the year, including GFB Day at the Capitol, the GFB Young Farmers & Ranchers Leadership Conference, GFB Commodity Conference, the Georgia National Fair, Sunbelt Ag Expo and  the GFB Annual Convention, just to name a few.

Applications, guidelines, and a tentative schedule can be found online at www.gfb.ag/ambassadors. The deadline to apply is 11:59 p.m., Oct. 21. Candidates selected to move to the next round will be notified and given their interview date within a week to participate in an interview process.

For more information, contact Keaton Walker at kgwalker@gfb.org.

• Must reside in Georgia

• Must be 18 years old or older at the time of selection

• Must have a means of transportation to/from events
