Keynote - Stepping Out of Line - Bethany Schunn
In life, we are faced with many decisions. Some decisions are easy to make, while others push us to get out of our comfort zone. Often, we must “step out of line” in order to take a worthwhile risk. Deviate from our normal ways to seize an opportunity. Schunn's discussion will focus on how easily one’s path in life can change and how people may need to “step out of line” at times to develop themselves and their companies.

Schunn will speak about serving in a non-traditional role, the successes and obstacles that she faced, as well as lessons she learned along the way. This discussion will also touch on situations that made Bethany a stronger leader, learning to adapt her leadership style in different situations, and encouraging other women to not be afraid to occasionally “step out of line.”

Marlene Eick, who led the Women Leading in Ohio Agribusiness Program webinar series in 2020 and 2021, will emcee the day. Registration opens at 9:00 a.m. and program begins at 9:30 am.

This event is open to all women in agribusiness. Interested participants may click here for additional details and event registration.
