United Fresh President Tom Stenzel and Chairman Jim Lemke of C.H. Robinson are in the mountains of Idaho this week for the 81st annual Sun Valley convention of the Idaho Grower Shippers Association. The United contingent will address the group during Friday's breakfast session, where they will provide an update on key industry issues. In addition, United's Vice President of Supply Chain Management Dan Vache led a discussion on the Produce Traceability Initiative during a convention workshop yesterday.

"The IGSA is one of the great regional associations serving our industry, and we've always enjoyed supporting their efforts," Stenzel said. "It has been a pleasure to work new IGSA President Travis Blacker this year, who's been a strong advocate for his members following the retirement of their long-time leader Dave Smith.  We also greatly appreciate the commitment of the IGSA board of directors, led by Dave Beesley, to maintain a strong national presence working on behalf of our entire industry."
