CERRITOS, CA - Are you ready for the Fresh Produce & Floral Council’s (FPFC) 2023 Expo? Among the many exciting activities taking place during the fresh-focused event, the organization has announced its latest keynote speaker: Sarah Thomas.

Thomas will be speaking at this year’s Keynote Breakfast, which begins at 7:30 a.m. on Thursday, April 27.

Thomas was one of nine new game officials added to the NFL officiating roster for the 2015 season, becoming the first full-time female official in NFL history, a recent press release explained.

She began her officiating career in 1996, when she attended a meeting for aspiring football officials with her brother. Recently, she completed her sixth season for the NFL as a Down Judge, and in January 2019, she made history again as the first female to officiate a postseason NFL game.

Sarah holds the honor of being named Sports Illustrated's 100 Most Influential NFL Figures of All Time.

Attendees can also meet and take pictures with Sarah Thomas after the Keynote Breakfast at the Idaho Potato Commission at booth #614.
