We had an amazing time at this year's Food Industries Sales Managers' Club First Annual Leadership Summit. It was an honor to moderate a panel of executive leaders in the food industry. Special thanks to Ron Fong, Adam Salgado, Rich Gillmore, MS-FIL, and Tod Marks for taking time out of their busy schedules to be members of this distinguished panel. They shared valuable insights on emerging topics, ranging from sustainability to customer behavior and the grocery shopping experience. The FISMC organization also honored a legend in the industry Mr. Jerry Whitmore, he was accompanied by his wife of over 40 years Joanne. Thank you Cheryl Kennick for convincing Jerry to attend! It was also great to see my friend Mr. Jim Lee who shared heartfelt words about Jerry. A big thank you to Monica Abarca for leading this year's event team and organization. And thanks to everyone who attended and made the day a success! #shineon #education #leadership #partnering
