Women's Leadership Committee
Women play a vital role in the success of agriculture.
Indiana Farm Bureau’s Women’s Leadership Committee (WLC) is made up of 10 District Education and Outreach Coordinators (DEOCs) representing each Farm Bureau district. The committee is chaired by INFB’s 2nd vice president.
The WLC is dedicated to educating the public through programs and events that promote a positive image of agriculture.
