Today marked the completion for the 29TH class of Leadership Montgomery in Montgomery County, NC. This program was led by the Montgomery Community College and Montgomery County Economic Development. This eight month journey was for community leaders to network and learn about the county where they work and/or live. I am thankful for the opportunity to make new connections to help grow Mountaire’s involvement and impact in the community. I was proud to be able to represent Mountaire Farms and the #MountaireCares Department - and for even getting to introduce my classmates to the #poultry industry during Business & Industry Day. Montgomery County is home to Mountaire’s Candor Feed Mill, North Carolina Grow Out Operations, and Garage.

Yesterday was the last day of class for Leadership Montgomery and we focused on “undiscovered places”. The places we visited were a great reminder of what rural North Carolina has to offer to locals and even folks from across the country.
