Women in Agribusiness launches a Resource Center providing insight via short video presentations and interviews with industry experts.
Precipitated by questions arising during this ever-changing time of COVID-19, the WIA Resource Center provides timely insight via short video presentations and interviews with industry experts.
The center features contributions from Greenberg Traurig Law, Iowa Soybean Association, Faegre Drinker and AgCareers.com, as well as dozens of other videos.
“Women in Agribusiness recognizes that those working in our industry are facing a multitude of questions and challenges resulting from the impact of the coronavirus, so we thought that tapping into our vast network of experts to provide some answers and guidance would be beneficial to all,” says Joy O’Shaughnessy, event director of the Women in Agribusiness Summit and chief operating officer of HighQuest Group, the parent company of Women in Agribusiness. “And while the current crisis has been the catalyst for this endeavor, the Women in Agribusiness Resource Center is here for the long-term to share knowledge with our audience, just as we do at our annual Summit.”
Those interested in perusing the video offerings can learn more about:
- The CARES Act and what it means for businesses

- The agricultural workforce and COVID-19

These informational videos are hosted by Women in Agribusiness, an initiative that took root in 2012, intent on helping agribusinesses recruit, retain and advance women in the sector. The movement has grown to bring together over 800 attendees a year at the annual Women in Agribusiness Summit, which has fostered an international community of women who are passionate about agribusiness and sharing industry knowledge year-round to help professional women know their business better.
