Registration is now open for the United Fresh Produce Executive Development Program, presented in partnership with the Cornell University Food Industry Management Program. Taking place March 24-29, 2019 at the Cornell University’s Statler Hotel & Executive Conference Center in Ithaca, NY, this program is designed to help today’s produce industry leaders sharpen their business acumen and executive skill set.
“I was so impressed with the curriculum after attending myself, that I’ve integrated it as part of my staff’s professional development,” says Michael Muzyk, President, Baldor Specialty Foods, Inc. “Each year I rediscover the value of this program as my staff return from Ithaca renewed, inspired and ready to solve the challenges of the day within our business and with our industry partners and clients.”
Professors and produce industry leaders will engage attendees through the week-long program in discussions, hands-on case studies and interactive working groups.
United Fresh said the program is designed for those in, or under, consideration for a leadership position, involved in a company’s strategic planning and execution, or have the desire to lead the fresh produce industry. More than 500 attendees have completed this program, going on it’s 13th year, and hail from diverse companies and backgrounds.
Tuition for the program includes five nights lodging, breakfasts, lunches, and several group dinners, all classroom sessions, materials and tours, personalized assessment tools and customized reports, as well as a completion certificate and group photo. Details of the course and fees can be found on the United Fresh website.
