Kloes Named Executive Director of AgForestry

AgForestry announced this week that Matt Kloes has been named the organization’s new Executive Director.  Kloes has been serving as the interim President during the hiring process, and has been AgForestry’s Program Director for four years.  He is also a graduate of AgForestry Leadership Class 36.  Kloes is only the fourth person to head the non-profit leadership development program since its first class began in 1978.

Since that first class, more than 1,100 working adults in agriculture, forestry, and natural resources have completed the 18-month program. Leadership Class 42 will begin the program in Pullman in late October.
