Northeast Dairy Leadership Team
The Center for Dairy Excellence is one of three organizations providing support for the Northeast Dairy Leadership Team, an alliance initiated by a memorandum of understanding signed by the departments of agriculture in New York, Pennsylvania and Vermont in June 2006. The NEDLT’s vision is to be the driving force for a vibrant, growing dairy industry through dynamic regional stakeholder collaboration.
