ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Patton began his journey in agriculture as a dynamic classroom teacher, quickly making a mark as an influential leader within the California Agricultural Teachers’ Association (CATA). He ascended through all sectional, regional and state leadership positions, becoming a guiding force in agricultural education. Though he is no longer in the classroom, Patton’s impact continues as CATA’s executive director. In this role, he works tirelessly with state staff and elected officials to preserve and enhance the integrity and funding of agriculture education programs across California. His dedication to nurturing the next generation of agricultural leaders is unparalleled. Patton will engage us in a thoughtful discussion on how we can collectively move the dial on inspiring, empowering and growing California agriculture’s workforce.
