2022 ANNUAL MEETING THE PREMIER INDUSTRY NETWORKING AND EDUCATIONAL EVENT.
The 96th Western Growers (WG) Annual Meeting continued its long tradition of being the marquee event in the fresh produce industry. Over four days in early November, hundreds of growers and industry stakeholders gathered in Las Vegas to strengthen the bonds that contribute to our continued collective success. During the event, the Board of Directors conducted their quarterly meeting to deliberate on critical issues facing Western fresh produce growers. In addition to its official business, the board recognized the service of seven outgoing directors, including three former chairs – one of which is part of the only grandfather, father and son trio to serve as WG Chair (John D’Arrigo). The 38-year tenure of David Zanze, Executive Vice President of Western Growers Assurance Trust and President of Pinnacle Claims Management was also celebrated. The keynotes at the Annual Meeting included Four-Star Admiral William McRaven and former Levi’s top executive Jennifer Sey. Former Deputy Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor to President George W. Bush Karl Rove headlined the WG Political Action Committee (PAC) Luncheon. John Harris received the Award of Honor, two informative panels educated attendees and there were performances from “The Rat Pack and Marilyn” and Neil Diamond tribute band Super Diamond. On top of all this, NutJobs took home a record-setting $6 million equity investment offer during AgSharks!
