A few months ago, Eggheads had the pleasure of running a booth at the PEAK Conference in Minneapolis. We met so many different folks working in the egg world, and felt so inspired by all of the incredible things we saw going on within the industry. So today, we wanted to sit down with one of the people who made it all possible.
Lisa Henning is a board member for the Midwest Poultry Association, the body responsible for organizing the PEAK conference. She’s also the Strategic Relationship Manager at Henning Companies, where she’s worked for more than 22 years.
Lisa joins us to discuss the incredible growth of the PEAK conference, her own atypical journey into the world of agriculture, and the importance of encouraging young people to pursue careers in the field.
