Weekly Wave: Arizona Group Learns About Agriculture in Yaqui River Valley

Over the course of five days at the end of October, WRRC Program Manager Michael Seronde and his peers in Class 30 of Project CENTRL traveled to Ciudad Obregón in Sonora, Mexico to learn about the economic and political resources of the Yaqui River Valley and to gain perspective on issues of shared importance in AZ. Project CENTRL is a program of the Arizona Center for Rural Leadership, a non-profit public-private partnership with the UArizona’s Cooperative Extension. The trip to Mexico is part of Project CENTRL’s year-long leadership seminar series designed to equip emerging leaders with the tools necessary to serve their communities.
