OPEN TO ALL MEMBERS!

All Ðãɫֱ²¥members are cordially invited to the Ðãɫֱ²¥Great Lakes Section Webinar Series featuring a special session on Current Challenges in the U.S. Wool Industry.

The U.S. wool industry is currently facing a range of significant challenges, including supply chain limitations, competition from synthetic fibers, processing infrastructure constraints, and evolving market demands for sustainable and high-performance materials. Addressing these issues is critical to strengthening the domestic textile sector and supporting wool producers.

We are pleased to host this webinar, led by Amy Benz from State of Kansas. In this session, Amy will provide valuable insights into these challenges, along with perspectives on emerging opportunities and strategies for revitalizing the U.S. wool industry.

We look forward to your participation in this engaging and informative webinar.

Your attendance is greatly appreciated!
