N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – In a world dominated by males in leadership roles, the need for female leadership continues to remain prominent.

The North Dakota Farmers Union will be hosting their fifth annual WILD (Women in Leadership Development) Conference on September 13th and 14th in Jamestown. The goal of the event is to encourage women to be active and passionate about getting involved in their communities and in leadership roles.

NDFU Member Relations Specialist Chelsey Jacobson says the conference will feature a variety of things for women including vendors, two keynote speakers, and panels to discuss leadership. Jacobson pointed out that one of their speakers is known on a national level.

Leader-Chivee has also been named one of Fortune’s 50 Most Influential Women on Twitter. Rebecca Undem will be the second keynote speaker and is a North Dakota native.

The cost to attend the two-day event is $99 and individuals must be an NDFU member. Registration can be found at www.ndfu.org/wild.
