Executive Director at California Cut Flower Commission
Santa Barbara, California Area
As Executive Director/Ambassador of the Cut Flower Commission I have been charged with the responsibility of restructuring and redeveloping focus. Accordingly, the Commission has narrowed its focus to Governmental Affairs, Public Relations, Transportation and Grower Economic Development. These four focus areas are designed to bring forward the necessary value that ensures our growers have the representation they need on the subjects and issues that threaten their ability to grow America's best source for high quality cut flowers and foliage.
Our growers spend every day growing flowers and every day they face challenges that could prevent them from doing just that. The Commission is here to be their ambassador and their advocate.
