The Board of Directors of the North American Intercollegiate Dairy Challenge invites your company to participate in our 19th Annual Dairy Challenge and the 8th Annual Dairy Challenge Academy. This year’s events will be held entirely online April 14-16, 2021 and will be hosted by the NAIDC Board of Directors.

The North American Intercollegiate Dairy Challenge offers a two-day competition that enables four-person teams to evaluate a well-managed dairy farm business and then recommend management enhancements to a panel of judges comprised of industry and academic professionals. The Academy runs in conjunction with the contest, giving its students an intensive program using the educational component of the Dairy Challenge without the competition.

 We are building our list of volunteers to help with the virtual event on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Being involved and working directly with the students gives you a first-hand view of the students in action, plus a large volunteer pool helps the event run smoothly. Because the event will be held entirely online, you may fully participate safely and without the burden of travel.

If you have questions about the event, please communicate with volunteer coordinator Trevor DeVries (tdevries@uoguelph.ca)

Please ensure every individual from your organization that is planning to participate completes a registration using this form. Forms are due Thursday, April 1, 2021.
