An Ivy League Educational Experience for Produce Executives

The produce industry’s rapidly evolving demands on executives are more labored than ever and success in an ever-changing business environment requires thoughtful and decisive executive leadership. The International Fresh Produce Association Executive Leadership Development Program, presented in partnership with the esteemed Cornell University Food Industry Management Program, is specifically designed to help today’s produce industry leaders sharpen their business acumen and executive skill set.

This program is designed for mid- to senior-level produce executives, including Presidents, CEOs, CFOs, Vice Presidents, Directors and others with management experience. More important than job title, however, are job responsibilities. If you are in or under consideration for a leadership position, involved in your company’s strategic planning and execution or have a desire to lead the fresh produce industry, attending this course is one of the best decisions you can make.

Participate in interactive discussions and hands-on case studies relevant to the challenges you face today.

I was so impressed with the curriculum after attending myself, that I have integrated it as part of my staff's professional development. Each year I rediscover the value of this program as my staff return from Ithaca renewed, inspired and ready to solve the challenges of the day within our business and with our industry partners and clients.

The Cornell Executive Leadership Development Program is an excellent choice for leaders who want to sharpen their executive leadership skills and become a more thoughtful, decisive and effective leader. The interactive discussions and hands-on case studies are real world and relevant to the challenges we are facing today. With the diverse group of industry leaders attending, I was able to learn as much from my peers as I did from the diverse experiences and skillsets of the excellent program instructors.
