What
women do you see as leaders in Canadian
agriculture?
The
Farm Credit Canada Rosemary Davis Award
(or "The Rosemary" as we like to call it)
honours women who are active leaders in
Canadian agriculture.
These
are women who give of themselves in their
communities or beyond - producers, veterinarians,
teachers, researchers, agribusiness operators
- you name it.
The
award (and it's a good one) is an all-expense
paid trip to the 2008
Simmons School of Management premier leadership
conference for women, “Dialogue and Discovery”
.
