Meet Our Moderators

We want to introduce you to our talented ARC 2010 Moderators; they work to help grow your ideas and business plans!

Liz Pike

Liz joins us from both both the technological and agricultural fields. She is a part time Graphic Designer who worked as a farmer for 20 years. Her passion lies in the growing role of women in agriculture. For the past decade, Liz has been managing a market-farming email list as a venue for discussion of American farming amongst thousands of subscribers. The list has spawned a website dedicated to continuing the dialogue. She brings technological know-how and her expertise and experiences as a farmer to the ARC community.

M. Elizabeth Diebold

Elizabeth joins us from the development world, currently working as a Business and Trade Economist for USAID, focusing on Food Security issues.  There she works to aid in the design and evaluation of agriculture-focused programs. Elizabeth has gained in-depth knowledge of the proposal building process. She also has experience working on online platforms and supporting such networks. Her business and economics background is a key asset in helping ARC users build strong and sustainable project-plans.
