California Table Grape Commission Welcomes New Chairman

Justin Parnagian, of Fowler Packing Company Inc., was recently elected to serve as the chairman of the California Table Grape Commission.

Parnagian was preceded by Marko Zaninovich, of Sunview Vineyards, who served as commission chairman since 2024.

“The commission is deeply appreciative of Marko’s leadership during a significant period of transition for our organization and industry,” says Ian LeMay, California Table Grape Commission President. “Throughout his tenure as chairman, Marko demonstrated a tremendous respect for the legacy of the California table grape industry, while also maintaining a clear focus on the work necessary to position our industry for the future and address the challenges ahead. We are equally excited to welcome Justin into this leadership role and look forward to working alongside him as we continue advancing the mission of the commission and building upon the strong foundation of California table grapes both domestically and internationally.”
