IFPA Meet & Greet the 119th Congress

JANUARY – APRIL 2025 | VIRTUAL
International Fresh Produce Association will host virtual meeting and greets with the freshman class of the 119th Congress. We invite you to join us as we welcome, congratulate and meet face to face with these new members of Congress.

IFPA’s “Fresh Faces” virtual meeting series will bring together our members from across the country to meet directly with new Members of Congress and their staffs. We encourage you to share personal testimony of how actions taken in Washington directly affect you, your community, and the produce industry overall. Through these meetings we will make Members of Congress aware of the challenges that businesses across our supply chain are facing. We will share our priorities and positions on key issues and encourage them to work on our behalf as they begin their service on Capitol Hill.

These meetings are exclusive to IFPA member companies. If you are not currently a member, and want to learn more about membership, contact Chief Membership Officer at Miriam Wolk, or 202.303.3410.
