"Dare to Lead Through Challenging Circumstances"
This free webinar is brought to you by the Women's Agricultural Leadership Conference. The in-person conference is being postponed until the fall of 2020 due to COVID-19.

Webinar description:

We are living through unexpected challenges. Each of our lives has been impacted in one way or another by COVID-19. As a result, we all experience some anxiety and uncertainty at work and at home. We will discuss some tools and tricks to navigate these personal and professional challenges. In this 90-minute webinar, experts will share their insights on navigating challenging circumstances. Monica Kramer McConkey will focus on mental health and emotional/stress management, Kristine Ranger will share her expertise on communication and conflict, and Valerie Velde will provide perspective on leadership and change management.

This training is for farmers who grow fresh fruits and vegetables, sell them at farmers markets, and want to become an Authorized Vendor for the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) and Women, Infants & Children (WIC) Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) (together known as S/FMNP).

In 2020, we will only offer this training using WebEx. Sign-up at least 24 hours in advance so we can send you information on how to use WebEx and login to the training.
