"The Pack Family/PMA Career Pathways Fund directly supports one of PMA's strategic initiatives. PMA has consistently identified 'attracting talented people to the industry' as one of the key long-term challenges facing our industry worldwide. Reaching out to top food and agriculture students and showing them the wide range of opportunities in the produce industry will help enhance the professionalism of the industry and develop our future leaders. We are very grateful to Jay and Ruthie Pack for having the vision and commitment to provide the funding for this initiative."
