These are some of the people who help make our industry stronger every day! 🥦🍞🛒

Over the next several weeks, we’re looking forward to shining a spotlight on the incredible members of our Board of Directors.

We’re grateful for the time, expertise, and energy each of these individuals contributes to advancing the mission of our association and supporting the hardworking retailers, wholesalers, and suppliers who keep our shelves stocked and our communities fed.

We're kicking off with a heartfelt thank you to Hy-Vee's Frank Woodward, who's transitioning to Immediate Past-Chair, and a very warm congrats to Shannon McCord with Ideal Market, our newly-selected Chair. These are some of the people who help make our industry stronger every day! 🥦🍞🛒
