Retail stars to be honored at United Fresh 2015

The United Fresh Produce Association is now accepting nominations for the 2015 United Fresh Retail Produce Manager Awards Program. The program will honor 25 outstanding retail produce managers at the United Fresh 2015 convention June 8-10 in Chicago, Illinois.

The Retail Produce Manager Awards Program pays special recognition to produce managers on the front line in supermarkets working everyday to increase sales and consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables. Nomination forms may be accessed online and must be received by March 16, 2015. 

Twenty-five award winners, along with their corporate produce directors, will receive complimentary airfare, hotel accommodations and registrations to the United Fresh 2015 convention. The winners will be honored at the Retail-Foodservice Celebration Dinner on Wednesday, June 10, where five grand prize winners will be announced as recipients of an additional $1,000 cash prize.

The 2015 Retail Produce Manager Awards Program is sponsored for the first time by Dole Food Company.

“Dole Food Company is truly excited about the opportunity to sponsor this program and to recognize the excellent leadership of these produce managers,” said Howard Roeder, President of Dole Fresh Vegetables. “Our company is delighted to take the reins of sponsorship for this very important program, and looks forward to working with our retail partners throughout the industry to recognize their key leaders at the front line of sales to the consumer.”
