The AGJA expresses its sincere gratitude to Hadlee Ketcherside of Missouri for her service to the Ambassador role. Hadlee concluded her year by hosting her service project, Champions Without Limits, which provided individuals with disabilities the opportunity to show cattle with the help of AGJA members. We are so proud of Hadlee for her hard work and selflessness that created an impactful event.
