St. Cloud, Minn. (1/30/2018)—“Overcoming
Adversity,” the third annual Women in Ag Network Conference will be February
15, 2018 in St. Cloud, MN at the Holiday Inn and Suites. This third annual event will be a day of
learning and networking for women involved in agriculture. Registration begins at 8:45 a.m. with
conference program from 9:15 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Katie
Pinke, publisher of AgWeek and
blogger of the The Pinke Post, will
be the keynote speaker. The title of her
presentation is, “Accepting Interruptions to Define Your Path Forward,” where
Katie will explain that even the most well-orchestrated plans aren’t exempt
from interruptions on the farm or off the farm.
Drawing upon trials and triumphs in her personal life and ag business
career, Katie will help attendees define their best path forward through life’s
pivotal moments.
Breakout
sessions will feature five diverse tracks for attendees to choose from: farm
business planning, stress management on farms, consumer advocacy, risk
management, and farm safety and health. The day will end with a panel
discussion with panelists sharing how
they have overcome adversity, whether it be a health challenge, weather event,
farm transition, or other farm challenge.
