President
2023-2024
The work that LDNY has done in the past years is remarkable. To keep our organization in the forefront, we will seek socially-conscious sponsors to partner with us as we support the emerging young women in our industry through scholarships, education, and networking. We are excited to now include farmers and other grass-roots food producers to our organization as they will help us round out our distinguished membership.
We look forward to reaching our goals with the support of our members and partners.
