The Produce Marketing Association (PMA) has announced that Marguerite 'Margi' Prueitt has joined its senior management team as the executive director of the PMA Foundation for Industry Talent (FIT), succeeding the outgoing Cindy Seel.

Reporting to PMA president and CEO Bryan Silbermann, she will serve as the staff lead to the FIT board of directors and will be responsible for all programme activities and fund development.

'FIT is making the transition from a highly successful start-up foundation that has flourished under Cindy Seel's leadership,' Mr Silbermann said. 'As we continue the transition to a mature organisation, Margi brings the perfect combination of decades of experience as an executive, including fundraising and programme development expertise.

'Watching her interact flawlessly with the FIT and PMA boards during our recent meetings in Tucson proved that she has the character and skills to take FIT to even greater heights,' he added.
