“What makes us different is that the Women in Agribusiness team supports women in the ag and food industry 365 days a year,” said Joy O’Shaughnessy, event director and chief operating officer of HighQuest Group, the parent company of Women in Agribusiness. “While we do host a large annual event that is known for exceptional content and networking, we also support women-owned businesses, publish a quarterly magazine, post job opportunities, give scholarships to young women, host local networking Meet Ups in over 15 cities, provide leadership training and more. Our events are tailored to the needs that are voiced by our women in agribusiness community, as well as the companies that want to support them.”
