The women’s workshops will include an update on Alliance’s developments from livestock and shareholder services general manager Heather Stacy and marketing general manager Peter Russell who will give an insight into why branding is important.
There will also be a talk on knife care.
Chief executive David Surveyor said “Successful farming is about partnerships.
“It’s no secret that women are among the key decision-makers on the farm so it’s vital they have the information to make informed decisions to improve the productivity and profitability of their farms.”
Stacy said “With women making up half of our shareholders, they make vital contributions to the co-operative’s success.0
“We want to take women along the Alliance journey by encouraging them to attend our workshops where they can learn more about our co-operative and give them an opportunity to share their knowledge and experience.”
