Distance Learning: July Webinars
As times have changed so have learning opportunities in the Agriculture Industry. The Executive Board has had a couple of requests to have a monthly email sent out with off-site learning opportunities for members to put on their calendars as they see fit. If you see a webinar or E-Learning opportunity that would benefit other IAW members please send them to ilagriwomensecretary@gmail.com. These emails will go out at the beginning of each month.
As always we hope all our members are staying safe and enjoying summer thus far!
