SEPC’s Southern Roots adds to leadership committee

SEPC’s Southern Roots – Here We Grow Again!

Millen, GA – The Southeast Produce Council BB #:191194 places great importance on creating dynamic female-forward initiatives through our Southern Roots platform.

The Council is pleased to announce and welcome new Southern Roots Committee members who will surely bring fresh perspectives and a strong commitment to cultivating and enriching relationships of women in produce –

Desiree Forsythe of National Produce FB, LLC
Melissa Pine of Bolthouse Farms
Kim St George of Renaissance Food Group

The Southern Roots Committee is confident that these ladies meet the high expectations required of a committee member. These women, part of active corporate membership companies, have shown vested interest and participation and will continue their commitment to drive creative and innovative value for the ladies of Southern Roots.

Southern Roots is designed to make meaningful connections among women working in the produce industry through events, education, and mentoring. By sharing values, contributions, and experiences, participants will have an opportunity to improve leadership skills individually and collectively—and will then positively affect organizational effectiveness at all levels.
SEPC warmly welcomes these newest members, strengthening its Southern Roots Committee listed as follows:

Co-Chairman Sabrina Pokomandy of Highline Mushrooms
Co-Chairman Kim Andreason of Jason’s Deli
Mary-Scott DeMarchis of Fresh2O Growers
Nicole Hulstein of Food Lion
Teri Miller of The Fresh Market
Erin Waters of Shuman Farms
Stephanie Williams of Scott Farms

Southern Roots is a magnificent community of women that offers a strong circle of support, fresh educational offerings, and impactful value no matter the season of one’s career. The ladies of the Southern Roots Committee work very hard to provide unique tools to enhance leadership skills and magnify the collective influence of women in the produce industry. I welcome the new committee members and look forward to our exciting Southern Innovations event in September that will feature Megan Zweig and Dan’l Mackey Almy of DMA Solutions and the Self Smarter Podcast.
