Laurie Wolinski

Summary

The National Women in Agriculture Education Conference will be the second conference of its kind for educators. The purpose of the conference is to broaden the educational programming efforts geared toward women in agriculture. Educational programming efforts geared toward women involved in agriculture have proven to be successful by increasing participants´ confidence, knowledge and skills; enhancing their personal and agri-business lives. There are several successful and on-going women in agriculture programming efforts in various states or regions of the country which can serve as models or examples. This national conference will be held in 2006 in a central, yet to be determined, region of the country to allow for convenient access for educators from across the country to participate. The sharing of successful and innovative programs at this conference will encourage new women in agriculture programs to begin and established programs to grow.
