We first met Rudy through one of our Spanish Agricultural Supervisory Leadership (ASL-SP) courses and immediately recognized his experience, wisdom, and gifted leadership abilities. His way of leading others stood out because of his calm approach to conflict, his respect for people, and his ability to stay focused on the bigger purpose and mission of the farm.
