During its Washington Public Policy Conference in September, the United Fresh Produce Association (UFPA) presented PRO*ACT LLC with the Produce Industry Advocate of the Year Award. The award is presented annually to the UFPA member that has demonstrated outstanding support for the Association’s public policy advocacy and has worked to ensure the advancement of policy objectives with elected leaders and administration officials.
“We’re very proud to receive this recognition from United Fresh,” says Steve Grinstead, President and CEO of PRO*ACT. “The level of volunteerism and advocacy among our employees and our distributors has risen steadily over the past several years. This is a critical time for the produce industry from a public policy standpoint, and PRO*ACT is committed to continuing to work closely with United Fresh, other industry associations, elected officials and government agencies to help our great industry be the best it can be.”
