TULARE, Calif.\u00a0\u2014 College students around California are receiving a special invitation to attend this year\u2019s World Ag Expo Speaker Series organized for all men and women involved in farming and agricultural businesses by the Women in Ag for Mentoring and Empowerment (WAME). For the most current information on the event, or to register, visit\u00a0facebook.com\/WAME17.<\/p>\n

The speaker series pulls together speakers on the biggest issues facing California agriculture today, such as water rules and drought, EPA regulations, succession planning, and more. The WAME speaker series runs all three days of the World Ag Expo, February 14-16, 2017, and is included in your expo admission cost.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled with this year\u2019s lineup of speakers,\u201d said organizer Pamela Sweeten. \u201cYou can learn about everything from grassroots lobbying to building a career in agriculture. We especially want to encourage college students to attend because there will be many networking opportunities for them as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sweeten pointed out though the series is organized by WAME, they encourage both men and women to attend.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re a \u2018women in ag\u2019 group, but we\u2019ve really designed this series to be relevant to everyone in agriculture,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The WAME speaker series is possible because of sponsorships from Garton Tractor, InsureCAL Insurance Agency, CCI Marketing, and P. Sweeten consulting.<\/p>\n
