NEWARK, DE - A melting pot of ideas is often the starting point for some of our industry’s greatest innovations. This melting pot begins with diversity in the workplace, bringing together a room full of different perspectives and molding them into one powerful mind. Produce Marketing Association (PMA) has launched a new resource to help many brands across our industry foster diversity and inclusion with its From Planning to Action: Diversity and Inclusion Resources for Members Virtual Town Hall.

“Over the past year, PMA, Center for Growing Talent, and our members have heard from experts about why diversity and inclusion matter and what companies across various industries are doing to be more inclusive, and therefore more competitive,” the association said in a company release.

The Virtual Town Hall will take place on Wednesday, March 3, beginning at 12 p.m. EST.

During the event, members of PMA and Center for Growing Talent’s Diversity and Inclusion Task Force will share the association’s main objectives surrounding diversity and inclusion, as well as introduce exciting new programs and resources that companies can use to advance diversity and inclusion within their organization to drive business performance and attract, develop, and retain talent. The events panelists will include Doug Bohr, Adriëlle Dankier, Laura Himers, Kathy Smith, and Joe Don Zetzsche.
