About PMAEF

"Learning is not compulsory... neither is survival."
  - W. Edwards Deming, U.S. business advisor and author (1900-1993)

The success of the produce industry has been built upon the strength, wisdom, and leadership of many dedicated individuals. In short, good people have made this industry great!

To ensure future success, PMA created the PMA Education Foundation, an independent 501(c) (3) corporation established in 2006. The Foundation's purpose is to sustain the future of the produce industry by:

  • attracting bright, talented individuals to work in this multi-faceted industry
  • preparing produce industry employees to be the industry's next leaders by providing them with life-long learning opportunities to advance their careers, grow their skill sets, and enhance their knowledge and abilities.

While our goals are high and our objectives many, this initiative is not a choice but rather a decision of survival. To read more about the plans for the Foundation, read our case abstract. Whether you're a student seeking a rewarding career, a produce industry employee seeking professional advancement, or a produce-related business owner seeking bottom line profitability - supporting the PMA Education Foundation is an investment in Your future!
