Coronavirus Crisis Resources & Best Practices

NAPMM Hosts Online Series of Market Manager Discussions - Facing the Future Together!

The board of the National Association of Produce Market Managers (NAPMM) is excited to announce a series of online Market discussions. These discussions are designed as another way for managers to interact, problem solve and share opportunities and best practices during the pandemic and perhaps beyond and while everyone is welcome, these discussions are designed for the practitioners actually engaged in operating markets. The goal is to keep the agendas very flexible with the participants shaping the content.

We plan to host one discussion per month; the first two focusing on “Facing the Pandemic,  Short-term Challenge, Long-term Opportunity?“

Our first forum was a huge success with over 30 participants. The November session featured Phil Grant, Manager of the Hunts Point Produce Market in New York, and Dan Carmody, President of the Eastern Market Corporation.
