Cheyenne Leach will return for the second year to the policy position and is a senior at Oklahoma State University studying agricultural communications. She most recently served as a legislative intern under the office of Oklahoma Senator, Markwayne Mullin, and under Oklahoma Congressman Frank D. Lucas.

Her experience has connected her with companies like Malcolm Mile Hi Ranch, LLC, Sleeping Giant Genetics, and Prairie Summit Veterinary Clinic. 

Cadence Lommori will also serve in a communications and media relations position and is a junior at Montana State University majoring in agricultural communications. Cadence is the Sigma Alpha Public Relations Chair where she provides fresh, creative ideas to the organization through social media, graphic design, photography, and newsletter creation.
