The Chairperson for the Renewable Fuels Association says she’s proud of a new networking group for the women involved in the ethanol industry. Jeanne McCaherty tells Brownfield the first meeting of the group during the National Ethanol Conference was only the beginning. “One of the things I’ve learned over my many years in male-dominated industries is women don’t network very well, and so what we did here was just provide a forum for women to get together and let them talk about what they do and what their challenges are and where they’re headed.”
McCherty says more than 50 women in the initial meeting are involved in sales and technical roles in the ethanol industry, and this helps them connect with others in the industry.
