Best Of The Bunch
Help wanted in selecting the 2011 Citrus Achievement Award winner.
Individuals help define a community. Without the help or influence of certain people, the Florida citrus industry would fail to progress despite all of the challenges that stand in the way. For more than a decade, Florida Grower has honored those who have stood tall in staunchly serving and supporting the Florida citrus sector by presenting the annual Florida Grower Citrus Achievement Award.
Sponsored by Chemtura AgroSolutions for the fourth consecutive year, the Citrus Achievement award is presented to an individual grower, allied member, Extension agent, legislator, researcher, or anyone else who has made — and is making — a difference through leadership, innovation, dedication, and active participation.
To successfully find the right individual, Florida Grower needs your help. Please reach out and let us know who should be the 2011 Citrus Achievement Award winner and why. If you have someone in mind and are interested in submitting a candidate for consideration, there are several ways to do so.

After all nominations have been received, each will be reviewed and discussed among a qualified selection committee comprised of several past award winners and industry experts. From there, an overall winner will be chosen, announced, and featured as Florida Grower's June issue cover story. The award will be presented during Florida Citrus Mutual's annual conference in June.
We thank you for your time and look forward to your response in helping honor a deserving individual in Florida's citrus community.
