AgSafe history or Women’s History Month… Why not both? 🤝
In reflecting on our beginnings and visionaries that created AgSafe, we thought it was only fitting that we recognize the first woman to become AgSafe Chair, Alethea Leandro-Farr.
From 1998 – 2000 Alethea led our organization as we began to create industry based safety trainings. Alethea is a trailblazer and created a path for our agricultural workforce to learn the fundamentals of agricultural health and safety.
During her time as chair, AgSafe launched our signature California Agricultural Safety Certificate Program which now has over 2,000 graduates. Alethea’s boots on the ground approach to training legacy continues to this day and is a core component of our organization.
Alethea has continued to serve on the AgSafe Board of Directors and lends her time and talents to provide training to our industry. Her leadership has shaped our organization and we will be forever grateful for her passion and dedication.
On this International Women’s Day we celebrate Alethea and all women who have lead our organization and continue to drive our mission today.
