Purpose
(All handbooks are under construction. Please check back at a later date for updated materials.)
The purpose of the Nebraska Agricultural Issues Forum Career Development Event is for a team of students to present a current issue to a public audience by developing a written portfolio that includes research and an understanding of an issue relevant to the local community and then preparing an oral presentation that examines both sides of an issue. Professional ethics and standards are emphasized in this event.
Portfolio Submission
Submit your team's Ag Issues CDE Portfolio via the following form no later than TBD. Submissions after that date will not be accepted. Only portfolios submitted through the form below will be accepted. You will receive an emailed receipt. If the same team submits multiple portfolios, the final submission will be graded. Teams must also be registered for the Ag Issues CDE via the CDE registration system by the CDE registration deadline, or the team will be disqualified.
