IRVINE, Calif. — On Thursday, December 2, UnitedAg recognized the 2020-21 Ambassador award recipients during their 8th Annual Health Benefits Forum in Corral De Tierra, CA. The ambassadors were awarded five hundred dollars for future health initiatives and campaigns.
The UnitedAg ambassador program is designed to foster community within its member companies as well as offer employees the opportunity to take a proactive role in their healthcare system. Since its inception, the ambassadors have vetted, tested, and implemented a series of new health tools, and safety measures to keep their workforce safe and healthy during these unforeseen times. This collaborative program has provided the opportunity to develop creative communication campaigns to educate the agricultural workforce on the importance of COVID-19 health and safety protocols.
UnitedAg proudly recognizes two outstanding ambassadors for their successful health initiatives and campaigns in 2020-21:
- Hilda Solis, Merrill Farms, LLC – Ag Innovator Award
- Cristina Rocha, Nichols Farms – Ag Influencer Award
“As health and safety are at the forefront of our nation, we are proud to support our member ambassadors with tools and resources to help combat COVID-19. The Ambassador program illustrates the collaborative and member-centric culture that we embody at UnitedAg. I am extremely proud of the award recipients for their ability to create change in an environment that is uncertain,” said Kirti Mutatkar, UnitedAg.
UnitedAg is currently expanding the ambassador network and is seeking candidates. If your company is currently a member of UnitedAg and would like to nominate an ambassador, contact the program coordinator Christina Morley at cmorley@unitedag.org.
