Washington Public Policy Conference

United Fresh's annual Washington Public Policy Conference (WPPC) is the produce industry's largest gathering to take action on key policy issues. The 2008 WPPC was our largest to date, with a record 340 members representing 30 states converging on the nation’s capital. Attendees participated in a Town Hall discussion with FDA, visited the embassies of Mexico, Australia, and the Delegation of the European Commission, and met face to face with over 140 members of Congress in three policy-packed days. United Fresh members asked the tough questions, and conveyed their priorities and concerns to an accessible and receptive Congress charged with making decisions that affect the entire produce industry.

Quite simply, WPPC is the time and place to come together as an industry and make our voice heard. Will you be heard in 2009?
