" I found the event to be energizing and full of really great info about agriculture." Nancy Vosnidou, Scientific Communications Manager, Monsanto

"I showed up not knowing what to expect and I left with a new lease on life as a women in agriculture and a women in the work force in general. We have to encourage more females in our area of business. Thank you for all your efforts putting this summit together." Taken from the post event survey.
