Wloa Header

Even though women have been working in agribusiness for decades, there are particular challenges that face women in professional agribusiness roles. Through small group discussions and input from members, OABA is pleased to offer a forum for women who are looking for resources from experts and peers alike to face these challenges. To meet this need, the Ohio AgriBusiness Association is launching the Women Leading in Ohio Agribusiness program.

The new program will offer professional development, networking opportunities and more to OABA’s female leaders. Women new or seasoned in the industry are invited and encouraged to participate and share with one another.To kick off the program, OABA is hosting a three session webinar series this fall. Sessions are $75 each or $150 for the series. Details for each session are below:

In this webinar, Marlene Eick shares the keys to establishing a mindset of confidence that will serve you in your career and life.

 

Webinar 2 – October 13:

Working Through Uncomfortable/Offensive Situations, led by Jessica Branner Hittle

When do you say something? When you do, should it be a response to your coworker or something more formal to your company? Attorney Jessica Branner Hittle sheds light on how to handle workplace scenarios that range from uncomfortable to unacceptable.

 

Webinar 3 – November 10:

When “He” Doesn’t Want to Work with a Woman, a panel discussion

In any industry, there will always be “those people” who don’t play well with others. In this panel discussion, hear from women in the trenches who share real-world tactics on navigating a professional relationship with someone who might not want to work with you.
