Women's Agricultural Leadership Conference 

In 1998 Robin Kinney and Doris Mold decided that something needed to be done to activate more women in agriculture. They formed a committee that started the Women's Agricultural Leadership Conference (WALC) and in 1999 the first conference was held. Today, the conference is coordinated by the WALC Committee, part of the Women’s Agricultural Leadership Program. This group is entirely volunteer-driven and involves committee women from all walks of agriculture. Over the years, the conference has become a leading networking and leadership development resource for women in agriculture as well as a source for quality programming on a wide range of issues and ideas. The conference is for anyone with an interest in women's agricultural leadership regardless of gender, age or affiliation.
