HOUSTON – Developing beef advocates and leaders for the cattle industry is the goal of the Collegiate Beef Advocacy Program. Hosted by American National Cattlewomen, Inc.

The collegiate advocacy program matches the vision and purpose of ANCW by ensuring the selected students strengthen their leadership and communication skills, establish career networks and enhance their knowledge of the industry. This experience will assist participants in furthering their passion for beef advocacy by providing top notch training, access to educational resources, and unique experiences. Through this program participants will be enabled to become an integral voice for the beef community.
