BE A SEED AMBASSADOR!

Do you have what it takes to be a seed ambassador? ASTA is seeking students to join its Seed Ambassador Leadership Team (SALT)! The SALT team is a diverse network of ASTA members who actively engage, promote, and support the seed industry with a unified voice. ASTA provides members of this exclusive team with free training and ongoing support to help them become everyday seed ambassadors.

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS? There is no cost to participate, and there are no set time commitments for members, other than attending an in-person training session. We simply ask that you are willing to engage in the conversation on social media and/or in your schools and communities about seed and agriculture, and the critical role it plays in our lives. ASTA will give you all the resources you need for success, including turn-key monthly social media calendars, template presentations, access to continuing education webinars, and more.

WHEN IS THE TRAINING SESSION? A full-day training session will be held in December in Chicago in conjunction with ASTA’s CSS & Seed Expo and in January in Orlando in conjunction with ASTA’s Vegetable & Flower Seed Conference. Only one of these training’s is required to join the SALT program.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE TRAINING? The training session will feature expert speakers covering topics including social media “dos and don’ts” and unlocking your personal communications style.

WHO CAN JOIN? Anyone wanting to be an advocate for the seed industry and willing to engage with their community and network.

HOW DO I APPLY? Application information for upcoming trainings will be posted soon. Check back for more information.
