The Irrigation Association, (IA), Fairfax, Virginia, will launch its virtual Leadership Summit on Feb. 10, providing both seasoned and future leaders with the skills for leading projects, teams and organizations. The schedule includes both expert speakers and panel discussions that will identify the common traps that many business leaders fall into and offer insight for how to build positive, lasting change in a company.
