Launched in 2020 by CPMA in partnership with Grocery Business, Outstanding Women in Produce is an initiative that recognizes the exceptional work of women in the produce industry.
Each year, CPMA puts out a call for the industry to nominate women who have made outstanding contributions, been part of an industry-changing initiative, or stood out in their organization.
Nominations are submitted in the following categories: sales, leadership, marketing, operations, and management.
Nominees must work for a CPMA member company.
Selected honourees are featured in the March/April issue of Grocery Business magazine and recognized at a reception during CPMA’s Annual Convention and Trade Show.
The call for the 2026 Outstanding Women in Produce is now open.
Deadline for nominations: Friday, December 5, 2025.
