We’re less than 50 days away from the start of the 91st Annual Meeting being held at the Grand Hyatt Resort & Spa in Kauai. This fun-filled and informative event is bringing hundreds of Western Growers’ members together to mix and mingle amid Hawaii’s lush tropical setting. As always, the Annual Meeting would not be possible without the support of our sponsors. As we prepare to don our Hawaiian shirts and dresses, Western Growers would like to thank all of our sponsors for their generous support! See a list of all of our sponsors below.
Please consider using our sponsors’ professional business products and services as an additional way of saying ‘Thank you!’ for their support and commitment to our organization and industry.
Feel like you’re missing out on an opportunity to get your company name in front of Western Growers’ members? It’s not too late to participate! Contact Randy Hause at (949) 885-2265 for more information on available sponsorships.
Award of Honor Ads and Tables
We would also like to remind attendees that you still have an opportunity to reserve a custom ad honoring Miles and Garland Reiter, co-recipients of this year’s Award of Honor. This is the first time in WG’s history that the Board of Directors has chosen two individuals to receive the award together. Create your own ad or work with WGs’ marketing staff to design your thank you to the Reiters. Final ads are due by September 23, 2016.
You can also reserve a table for 10 to receive preferred seating at the front of the room for the best view of our stage, entertainment and the Award of Honor recipients. Each table reservation includes two complimentary bottles of wine. Proceeds of table purchases will also go towards the WG Foundation. For ad info or to purchase a table, please contact Ryan Zilker at (949) 885-2249.
Absentee Voting Ballots
Don’t forget that this year’s event is being held during the Presidential Election
(Tuesday, November 8). That means that anyone who is planning to vote needs to request an absentee ballot if you are also attending the Annual Meeting. Obtain info on absentee voting ballots in Arizona, California and Colorado.
