SEPC hosts annual summer board meeting

The Southeast Produce Council held its annual summer board meeting July 15–17 in Nashville, TN, where Southern Innovations will be taking place in less than two months.

During the meeting, SEPC’s board of directors, board of governors, board ambassadors and staff discussed strategic anchors and goals of the council. Strategic planning for the future of SEPC is a key focus for the SEPC executive committee and board of directors.

“SEPC is focused on continuously innovating and making sure our programs and events continue to be the best in the industry,” said Harps Food Stores' Mike Roberts, SEPC chairman of the board. “These summer board meetings have become critical to this forward-thinking focus.”

Board members rolled up their sleeves and put on their thinking caps as they engaged in round table discussions, delving into strategies and tactics to futureproof the council through their strategic initiative work.

“We have one of the hardest working boards in the industry,” said David Sherrod, SEPC president and CEO. “The dedication and hard work they put into driving forward SEPC is a key differentiator for us.”

SEPC said it is excited to roll out the exciting tactics discussed at this meeting over the next 12 months.
