On Wednesday, April 15, 2015, past United Fresh Board member Brendan Comito, Chief Operations Officer, Capital City Fruit, Inc., will host former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton less than a week after she announced her run for the 2016 Presidency. Capital City Fruit in Norwalk, Iowa will host a tour and business roundtable with Clinton where she will learn about the logistics of operating a distribution business in the fresh produce industry.
“We are honored that a presidential candidate has decided to tour our company and meet with our employees and other business owners,” stated Christian Comito, Chief Executive Officer. “We are always open to educating political leaders of either party on the challenges and successes of operating a business and what they can do to improve things for our employees, our communities and our nation’s economic environment.”
