Tanbark Talk:
“Global Perspectives on Women’s Leadership in Dairy”

Join the Dairy Girl Network and NMPF’s National Young Cooperators Program for an engaging panel discussion with women leaders who are at the forefront of advancing U.S. dairy. This session will explore the unique challenges and opportunities women encounter across all levels of the dairy supply chain, from local farms to global markets. Panelists will share insights on how different countries are fostering women’s leadership in the industry, highlighting success stories and lessons learned from around the world. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of how women are transforming dairy worldwide and contributing to its future growth and sustainability.
This event is free to all wanting to attend. After the panel discussion, there will be networking time.
Family Lounge:
- Tuesday, October 1st through Friday, October 4th
- Madison Room on the second floor of Exhibition Hall
Dairy Girl Network is proud to once again provide a space that families with small children may rest and recharge in a quiet atmosphere during the hustle and bustle of World Dairy Expo. An area for nursing mothers is also available. This space offers comfortable seating, a changing station, toys and snacks to recharge. The Family Lounge will be open all day, every day during World Dairy Expo.
We are looking for volunteers to help with the Family Lounge. The primary role of a volunteer includes very basic housekeeping and volunteers are encouraged to stay and network if their schedule allows to greet guests and point out some amenities within the Lounge. Learn more and sign up for a volunteer shift HERE.
DGN welcomes donations for the Expo Family Lounge to make this a comfortable space with helpful amenities. Please reach out to Brenda with ideas.
