Seminars

“Does Chocolate Milk Come From Brown Cows?”
Jane Hillstrom, President, Hillstrom Communications
Michele Ruby, President, Ruby-Do, Inc.

Join in on the fun with this interactive workshop that uses music, videos and more to set the record straight on what people say about the dairy industry. Jane and Michele will help to identify misperceptions we have all heard about the dairy industry. Everyone will then identify the ones they hear most often. Using dairy message flipbooks, each participant will develop their own message and be taught how to spread that message with social media, video and more.
