(Arlington, VA) The National Council of Agricultural Employers (NCAE) announced that it is once again throwing down the gauntlet to search for the best of the best in the agriculture community.
“NCAE wants to elevate and recognize those members who represent what is best about the American agricultural community,” said Michael Marsh, NCAE’s President and CEO. “As we announced during our Ag Employer Labor Forum earlier this year, this competition will recognize one member who is making a positive impact on their community and another member for having the best farmworker housing.”
The first award category, the Doing Good Award, is to honor someone who encapsulates the amazing spirit we see so often among the agricultural community. “This award is for the people who go the extra mile, take time to help those in need even when it is inconvenient, give back to their community and elevate others around them,” noted Marsh.
The second award category, the Best Farmworker Housing Award, is to celebrate employers who go above and beyond when it comes to taking care of the people they work with every day. “This is for a member who displays that care through their investment in housing for their workers,” Marsh explained.
Each of the two winners will receive a bottle of beautiful Cabernet Sauvignon from the Mercer Ranches Block 93 production as NCAE acknowledges members for doing the right thing.
Members are encouraged to nominate themselves and others for both awards. Details on this recognition and how to participate can be found at ncaeonline.org
NCAE is the national trade association focusing on agricultural labor issues from the employer’s viewpoint.
