IL Chapter | 2021 ISPFMRA Annual Meeting - A Virtual Event

When:  Jan 28, 2021 from 09:00 AM to 04:15 PM (CT)
Associated with  Illinois Chapter of ASFMRA
The iconic image of the ‘little woman’ standing beside her weathered farmer/rancher husband with children clutching her dress is generations and a century behind the reality of today. Today’s agriculturist woman is the full partner in the farm business, as skilled at running a combine as she is her laptop....AND just as apt to be a professional with an off-farm career as an accountant, a business manager, an educator, a financial advisor, a politician, a communicator.

Join the Illinois Chapter as it undertakes a virtual look at the changing role of women in today’s farming operations. Our guests are regional and national leaders who just happen to be involved in the business of agriculture. And all of them are women.

NOTE: For those of you with lady land-owners or women clients, this might be a great opportunity for you to invite them to register as your guests. See the Registration Page for details on fees and links.

Note:  A GoToMeeting Invitation will be sent to all registrants prior to the event. If you have not received your GoToMeeting Registration link 24 hours prior to the event, please contact cmerry@countryside-marketing.com.
