IPC Brings on New Industry Relations Director, Travis Blacker
Eagle, ID
The Idaho Potato Commission has announced the appointment of Travis Blacker to the position of Industry Relations Director. Mr. Blacker will be located at IPC’s Eastern Idaho office and will be responsible for building and developing relationships between the IPC and the industry's growers, shippers, and processors. Mr. Blacker will also be charged with overseeing three committees, which serve as forums for discussion and idea generation in the Idaho potato industry: The Agriculture Affairs Committee, The Marketing Committee, and The Research and Education Committee.
“Travis’ most recent role as president of the Idaho Grower Shippers Association (IGSA) makes him an exceptional candidate for this position. The leadership Travis has provided to the industry and his day-to-day experience working directly with growers and shippers will prove invaluable in increasing and improving industry communication,” Frank Muir, President/CEO, IPC, explains.
Mr. Blacker has close to two decades experience in the Idaho potato industry, and prior to working with IGSA, he was Supply Chain Manager at Dickinson’s Frozen Foods and Customer Service Manager at NorSun Food Group.
