Julie Sullivan on Our First Ever Manager Fellowship
In this conversation, host Taylor Muglia interviews Julie Sullivan, mentor training and support specialist (and program founder) here at Quivira Coalition’s New Agrarian Program. Julie discusses the inspiration behind creating the program’s first Manager Fellowship and how it aims to bridge the gap between apprenticeship and ranch management or entrepreneurship for the “not-so new agrarian.” She walks through the requirements to apply, nuts and bolts of the program, and her greatest hopes for the first cohort.
