WASHINGTON, D.C. - The annual Rising Leaders Program, held in conjunction with the United Fresh Washington Conference on September 12-14, will be growing this year. The event will hold an additional three hours of curriculum for produce go-getters who’d like to better understand how legislation and policy impact their business.
“My staff that have attended grew with this program, expanded their personal industry network at an accelerated pace and felt a measure of pride to be involved in such a unique experience. Each of them returned grateful and motivated to help move the industry forward,” says Brian Kocher, Immediate Past Chairman of the United Fresh Board of Directors and Chief Operating Officer of Castellini Company LLC, according to the organization's website.
