Registration is now open for Wisconsin Farm Bureau’s IGNITE Conference. The conference will take place March 25-26 at the Holiday Inn – Stevens Point.
IGNITE stands for Innovate, Grow, Network, Inform, Train and Engage. This member-engagement conference will give attendees the opportunity to build leadership skills and strengthen county Farm Bureaus.
Keynote speakers include Hank Wagner, Wisconsin dairy farmer and founder of Wagner Leadership Training and Rick Metzger, farm kid and motivational speaker.
“The keynote speakers at this year’s IGNITE Conference will be engaging and interactive,” said Senior Director of Member Relations Wendy Kannel. “Attendees will learn about developing relationships, becoming stronger leaders and maximizing their effectiveness as county Farm Bureau leaders.”
Other speakers on the agenda include representatives from American Farm Bureau Federation, Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation and other ag-industry professionals.
The conference offers four tracks: policy, issues and advocacy; governance and organization; building Farm Bureau and communicating for agriculture and Farm Bureau. Attendees will have the option to follow one track through the entire conference or split their time between multiple tracks.
