The Florida Farm Bureau Federation is providing $2,000 in scholarships for women in agriculture to attend the Women’s Leadership Conference, April 5-7, 2018 in Tampa.
Eight $250 scholarships will be awarded to individuals to attend the conference. The priority of awards will be given to first-time attendees of the conference and women who also serve on their county Farm Bureau Young Farmers and Ranchers Committees.
“We are pleased to provide these scholarship opportunities to Farm Bureau women across the state,” said Michele Curts, leadership programs coordinator. “The Women’s Leadership Conference will include lots of fun, hands-on activities, engaging educational sessions, networking and tours of local agriculture.”
Themed “The Treasure of Florida Agriculture,” the Women’s Leadership Conference will be held at The Westshore Grand, A Tribute Hotel in Tampa. The three-day conference registration fee is a nominal $100 per attendee, plus lodging.
