Welcome to the Women in Dairy Reading & Leading Book Club! IDFA is pleased to offer a Book Club for members of the Women in Dairy Network. Like the Women in Dairy Network overall, the selections chosen and discussed by the book club will focus on leadership, personal development and career advancement.
Schedule & Operation
The book club will meet quarterly via Zoom to discuss that quarter’s selected title, which will be chosen from IDFA polls of Women in Dairy members. Each quarter’s selection will be shared along with discussion questions for participants to consider while they are reading. Depending on the number of participants each quarter, the discussion may be held as a single group or facilitated in breakout rooms.
Next Club Meeting: May 19 at 1:00 pm ET
Book Selection
IDFA has a preliminary list of books that have been recommended in our mentoring circles and virtual networking sessions to kick things off and will poll interested members on future selections.
