Ready to grow your skills, your network, and your future in agriculture? Apply to become a Nebraska WIA Ambassador!
The Nebraska Women in Agriculture Conference is a powerful two-day event that brings together women from every corner of Nebraska’s ag industry. Through hands-on workshops and expert-led sessions, participants learn how to manage risk, strengthen their operations, and lead with confidence.
Now, you can be part of it in a bigger way.
To create a more meaningful and immersive experience for college students, WIA is excited to launch the WIA Ambassador Award.

This is your chance to:
- Build leadership and communication skills
- Make impactful connections with industry professionals
- Contribute directly to an event that supports women in agriculture
