BURLINGTON, MA - The New England Produce Council, Inc. has announced that it has made two change-ups in leadership by both appointing new President Anthony Sattler and new Director Mark Jewell on the Board of Executives.

“We are very pleased and excited to welcome Anthony as NEPC President and Mark as a Board Member with all of their great experience to the Board of Directors,” Laura Sullivan, Executive Director of the NEPC, said, according to a press release.

Outgoing President Bob McGowan, who served the council multiple terms and whom it said it offered exceptional commitment and dedication, will continue to be involved as an advisor to the Executive Board.

“We are happy to have Bob McGowan remain involved with the organization and, more importantly, our Executive Board,” Sullivan added.

These board appointments will begin at the council’s dinner meeting tomorrow night, January 12th, sponsored by Dole at the Greater Boston Food Bank.

Sattler is currently Vice President of Produce for C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc., in charge of sourcing and procurement of fresh produce, and has been with the company for 19 years. Before joining C&S, he was a Produce Buyer, Dairy Category Manager, and Senior Director.

Jewell is the Category Manager Produce for Hannaford Supermarkets and will celebrate 33 years with the business in May. Previously, he was a Category Manager for Fresh Deli, Produce Buyer, Specialist Lead – Retail Operations, Store Manager, and Meat Buyer.

The two gentlemen are coming into their roles with a full agenda. Currently, the NEPC is working on several events, including the Annual Dinner Dance Gala, which will take place at the World Trade Center at the Seaport Hotel, Boston, MA, on Saturday, Feb. 6th. With live entertainment, fine dining, and great people from the produce industry, the event is Rock and Roll themed and, according to the council, one of its best events.
