By Michelle Pelletier Marshall, Women in Agribusiness Media (January 2, 2024)
Welcome to 2024! Thank you for joining us on our Women in Agribusiness journey where we celebrated the largest Summit ever in Nashville last September, and brought together so many of you for networking, knowledge-sharing, and collaborating.
As we move into the new year, we wish you peace and harmony and laughter and happiness, and we hope that we at WIA help in that endeavor. We appreciate your curiosity, input, and participation in our united goal to make the world a better place through improvements in agriculture -- whether that be through innovation, increased sustainability efforts, ingenious new products, or simply assisting each other in our personal goals in ag. Much success for the new year!
All the best,
Michelle Pelletier Marshall, Managing Editor, WIA Today
