WG Women Program

Western Growers believes that women are essential to the future of agriculture, which is why we have developed WG Women, a program that prepares women for positions of leadership within WG member companies and the broader fresh produce industry.

WG Women is planning a new series of virtual and in person leadership development opportunities, including online leadership and social media and traditional media training courses.

Participation in WG Women is limited to employees of WG member companies, and participants are admitted following formal acceptance of the program application. Once accepted into the program, WG Women must complete a minimum of 36 program hours to earn an official certificate of completion.

Applications are now open.
