nmheroThe National Mango Board is inviting retail leaders in the produce industry to nominate retail produce team members who have gone above and beyond the normal expectations as a Super Fun Super Fruit Hero. This initiative aims to recognize and applaud the heroic efforts of retail teams during this challenging time. The first 100 nominees will each be awarded a digital gift card from the National Mango Board.

The National Mango Board team believes that it is important to recognize front-line workers, produce stockers, warehouse employees or others who work behind the scenes and play a vital role in keeping the nation’s food supply chain moving during this difficult period.

“To say the least, these have been trying times. As we work to determine the new normal, the National Mango Board wants to recognize the extraordinary efforts that retailers have made to keep the food chain intact, and more specifically front-line retail produce employees,” said Tammy Wiard, retail marketing manager at the NMB. “We want to thank our retail partners for their continued efforts. The mango industry continues to thrive, even during these uncertain times. We look forward to great mango volume during the summer months and consistent demand driven by consumers’ heightened focus on health and nutrition.”

There are countless everyday heroes in the retail produce sector, who deserve to be recognized for the work that they are doing and the difference they are making. To nominate a team member who embodies the description of a Super Fruit Super Hero, click here.
