Tip Murphy Scholarship for Leadership Excellence
Recognizing that strong leaders drive the future of the produce industry, the Tip Murphy Scholarship
for Leadership Excellence (TMSLE) supports emerging leaders by advancing their careers through
development of leadership skills and is funded by the generous donations of supporters of the Tip Murphy
Legacy Fund. The fund was created in 2008 to honor the life and career of Tip Murphy, a beloved 15 year
veteran of the produce industry.
"I very much appreciate the scholarship and see this as a great way of enticing and allowing future candidates to attend similar events."
