NPC Washington Summit Pt 1
I’m Bob Larson. In an effort to streamline annual events, the National Potato Council announced it is combing their Annual Meeting with the Potato D.C. Fly-In that will be called the NPC Washington Summit.
Until this year, NPC CEO Kam Quarles says the Annual Meeting was held at the end of the Potato Expo in January …
QUARLES … “We’ve moved our annual meeting to our Washington, what we’re calling, our Washington Summit which is in March. And what that allows us to do is to provide some real focused time at Expo exclusively on the things our exhibitors and attendees want to get done in regard to their businesses.”
And that includes, Quarles says things like farm succession planning, recovering from COVID, the inflationary environment, among other important topics, that allows us to focus on business priorities broadly for the industry …
QUARLES … “We think that that’s going to very clearly define the Expo experience in January and then also, in March, it will very clearly define this major event for the National Potato Council where you’re doing all of our advocacy work in D.C. as well as all of the leadership work that occurs within our organization.”
Tune in tomorrow for more on the new-look National Potato Council Washington Summit, February 28th thru March 3rd.
