Following AEGIC’s Executive General Manager Courtney Draper will moderate a panel to discuss science in agriculture and the importance of fostering women’s leadership within the grains industry. The panel will also delve into ways we as an industry seek to broaden the diversity of voices contributing to our grains industry.
