UF/IFAS FACULTY TO HOST WEBINAR SERIES FOR AGRICULTURE AND NATURAL RESOURCE PROFESSIONALS
June 16, 2020
A new webinar series, focused on professional development for agriculture and natural resources professionals during a global pandemic, is set to take place this summer.
Megan Stein, agricultural education and communication lecturer at the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, will lead the series.
“Our industry groups in agriculture and natural resources have adapted to a lot of change recently,” Stein said. “We are hoping to connect meaningful content about organizational change, resiliency and digital business meetings to help these groups continue to move forward.”
Starting June 18, the six-webinar series is set for every Thursday at 11 a.m. Eastern. The following topics will be presented:
“These topics were selected because they are important for ANR industry professionals, but are sometimes avoided in conversation,” said Stein. “We want our industry to feel more comfortable working in digital spaces, while acknowledging mental health disparities, and work with others to lead their organization into the ‘new normal.’”
All webinars will be delivered at no cost to participants using Zoom, a video conferencing software. Interested individuals should register online to receive the login information.
