In celebration of the International Year of the Woman Farmer, Farm Credit Council has announced an initiative to provide leadership development training to women leaders across the Farm Credit System. Participants will take part in a groundbreaking leadership experience at Gettysburg in the summer of 2026. Each of the 55 Farm Credit Associations and four banks, representing all 50 states and Puerto Rico, will be invited to nominate one female leader for this distinguished honor. “These women are not only leaders in the fields they tend, but in the futures they cultivate,” said Christy Seyfert, President and CEO of the Farm Credit Council. “We’re proud to invest in their growth and amplify their stories.” The program blends historical lessons in decision-making, legacy-building, and resilience with modern leadership strategies, preparing participants to return to their communities with renewed purpose and power. Applications at Farm Credit Institutions will open on December 1, 2025.
