The Wisconsin Potato & Vegetable Growers Association (WPVGA) Promotions Committee prides itself on creative thinking and promoting Wisconsin potatoes in terms of nutrition, buying locally, and spreading the word of multigenerational family farms.

Recently, committee members embarked on discussions to provide clarification to the committee’s structure and ensure that the industry knows participation from other growers, regardless of their place in the organizations they represent, is welcome and encouraged.

Also, as part of the committee restructuring, all members will be reviewed each year at the annual Promotions Retreat/ budget planning meeting. Based on the newly approved committee structure guidelines, up to 11 committee members will be designated and recorded as the committee’s voting members.

Following the Promotions Retreat, the committee structure, including those named as voting members, will be reviewed, and considered for approval by the WPVGA Board of Directors at its June meeting. After that approval, the full/new committee will be in place for the next fiscal year beginning on July 1.

If you are interested in serving on the Promotions Committee, or would like to come and see what it’s all about, contact Dana Rady at 715-610-6350 or drady@wisconsinpotatoes.com, or Chairman Brian Lee of Okray Family Farms at brian@okray.com.
