WIA Honorary Advisory Board

Women in Agribusiness is grateful to all the members of its Advisory Board, who help guide and build the path of each WIA Summit. We have been fortunate to include talented women from across the ag value chain on our board, many of whom have been on the board since the event's inception in 2012. Here, we recognize and honor the past members of the WIA Advisory Board. (Titles may have changed since the time these members sat on the board.)
