Nearly 100 women - farmer-members, employees and friends of the three host cooperatives - took part in the event, which is one of the most important meetings for women producers in the province.\r\n\r\nThe gathering, which has become an annual tradition for women cooperators in Mont\u00e9r\u00e9gie and Centre-du-Qu\u00e9bec, was hosted by Jeannine Chartrand, President of Covris Coop\u00e9rative and Director of Sollio Groupe Coop\u00e9ratif. While historically there was a morning conference and an afternoon conference, this latest edition featured a total of three conferences, contributing to the professional and personal development of participants.\r\n\r\nWomen's leadership as a force for change<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe day began with a one-hour conference on human resources management in the agricultural sector, led by Val\u00e9rie C\u00f4t\u00e9, farmer and trainer at the C\u00e9gep de Victoriaville. She provided guests with tools specifically designed to help women manage human resources on the farm.\r\n\r\nThe next guest speaker was Maude Farley-Fournier, Senior Director, Innovation and Business Solutions for Sollio Agriculture. Ms. Farley-Fournier presented the crucial role of women in the agricultural world, and how female leadership is a key driver in the transition to sustainable agriculture.\r\n\r\nGuests enjoyed a delicious lunch from Le Coureur des Bois, featuring split pea soup, veal flank steak with duck fat confit potatoes and truffle sauce, and a savory maple dessert.\r\n\r\nThe afternoon was devoted to Ms Rose-Marie Charest, renowned psychologist, speaker and columnist, with her talk entitled \" Learn to assert yourself to get involved effectively \". She set the stage by stating that women are often reluctant to get involved for fear of not being competent enough, even though their level of self-demand is often very high. She went on to suggest ways in which women can assert themselves, influence and increase their effectiveness, to the benefit of their entourage, companies and communities.\r\n\r\nThe Women's Cooperative Forum organizing committee donated $400 to the Women and Resilient Agriculture program of the Centre d'\u00e9tude et de coop\u00e9ration internationale (CECI)<\/a>, the equivalent of $5 per participant. The symbolic cheque was presented to Mr. Oll\u00e9 Doli, CECI's Communications and Public Relations Advisor. In addition, all kilometers driven by guests in gasoline-powered cars were accounted for in order to offset greenhouse gas emissions through the purchase of carbon credits.\r\n

In addition to a number of randomly won prizes, each guest received a maple cone, a bag of fresh cheddar from Fromagerie Saint-Guillaume<\/a> and a packet of herb seeds, courtesy of W.H. Perron<\/a>.
