Liz Wilder
Programs Director
Born and raised in Pullman, Washington, Liz Wilder grew up immersed in agriculture. As an avid member of the Pullman FFA Chapter, she learned the value of hard work and perseverance by participating in stock shows and county fairs with her lambs, competing in various contests such as prepared public speaking, livestock judging, and agriculture sales, and taking on leadership roles. Due to these experiences, when the chance to serve as a Washington FFA State Officer presented itself, she jumped on the opportunity. In this role, she traveled throughout Washington and the Pacific Northwest meeting with FFA members, stakeholders, and industry professionals.
Liz recently graduated from the University of Idaho with a degree in agriculture sciences, communications, and leadership, with a minor in agribusiness. While at the U of I, she played an instrumental role in the advancement of both the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS) and the department of Agricultural and Extension Education (AEE).
Liz is well-known for her resourcefulness, commitment to excellence, and passion for agriculture. During her time at the U of I she served as the President of the Collegiate FFA Chapter and Sigma Alpha, a professional agriculture sorority, was the editor of the AEE Department bog and newsletter, “The Hoot”, a contributing writer for the college’s feature stories, and worked as an intern for the Idaho FFA Foundation for three years.
