Adult Technical Training Director, Evan Schaad, commented, “We are excited to bring Amber on board to continue to offer this long-standing program to our agricultural community. Amber has the skills and background necessary to continue to serve our long-time clients, and she has the foresight that can grow the program to serve new agricultural markets.”
