Join the Kansas Agriculture and Rural Leadership (KARL) Program at the Manhattan Country Club on Friday, August 1, for our 17th Annual Leader Links Golf Tournament. 

This event raises funds for the current KARL Class XVII Seminars, which will conclude with an international study tour to Brazil in March 2026. KARL is a two-year leadership program that selects up to 30 individuals from across Kansas to participate in 12 experiential seminars, learning from rural communities and agriculture industries across Kansas, as well as traveling to Washington, DC, participating in the Gettysburg Leadership Experience, and traveling to an international destination. KARL challenges changemakers to think differently, while connecting them to the people and resources that can help them transform organizations, communities, our state, and our world.

“Leader Links isn’t just a golf tournament. It’s a gathering of folks who care about developing rural Kansas and the leaders of our industry. It’s a chance to reconnect, catch up, and encourage one another, all while enjoying a great round of golf," said Jill Zimmerman, KARL President.

Register your team today at https://karlprogram.com/leader-links-golf-tournament/ or email Jill at karl@ksu.edu about volunteer or sponsorship opportunities. We hope to see you on the course supporting Kansas agriculture, connecting with friends, and winning fantastic prizes! Golfer or not, we would love to see you there!
