United Fresh To Host Town Halls In 15 States
July 22, 2013 United Fresh Produce Association will kick off its fourth Summer Fresh Impact Tour on July 29 in Highland, NY. The series of 20 town halls in 15 states will reach from coast-to-coast and give industry members a chance to share their perspectives on the issues and make business connections.
“We’re going to cover a lot of ground talking with industry members this summer — in both miles and the diverse topics we’ll be addressing,” said United Fresh CEO Tom Stenzel. “United Fresh Impact Tours always allow us to engage in personal discussions about challenges facing our members, from labor and immigration, to food safety, to ways to increase produce consumption. At each stop along the way, we’ll spotlight how United can help leverage the passion of individual members to make a difference for the greater industry.”
The Fresh Impact Tour will begin in the Northeast, with town hall events in New York, Massachusetts, and Maine. Other town halls will be held in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and California. Throughout the tours, United leaders and staff will meet with industry members at their operations, and Stenzel will also speak to the Texas Produce Convention and the Idaho Grower Shipper Association.
